Description:

Silverburn Antibacterial cream for the treatment of burns ulcers.

Broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, sulfanilamide. It has a bactericidal effect.

Properties:

• The drug is active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Proteus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Klebsiella spp.).

• The bactericidal properties of the cream are due to the activity of silver ions, which are released in the wound as a result of the dissociation of the silver salt of sulfadiazine; the release of silver ions occurs gradually (moderate dissociation), ensuring the constancy of the antimicrobial effect. 
• The bactericidal activity of silver ions is complemented by the bacteriostatic effect of sulfadiazine (also released during the dissociation of the silver salt of sulfadiazine).
• Silvirbarn is characterized by moderate osmotic activity and does not have necrolytic properties.

Indications:

Treatment of infected burn wounds, bedsores, abrasions, skin ulcers, transplanted skin areas; as well as to prevent their infection.

Application mode:

Apply externally.

After surgical treatment of the wound and removal of necrotic tissues, the cream is applied to the damaged surface with a thin layer of 2-4 mm (under a bandage or in an open way) 1-2 times / day. The maximum single dose is 300 g. The duration of treatment is set individually, depending on the nature of the disease and the effectiveness of the treatment used, and, as a rule, is up to 3 weeks.

If the use of the drug was missed, apply the cream as soon as possible and continue using at the usual time without doubling the dose.

If the patient feels that the effect of the drug is too strong or weak, the doctor or pharmacist should be informed about this.
