Product Description
Burnheal from Cipla contains Silver SulfadiazineBelow are some of the details of Silver Sulfadiazine(generic)
Silver sulfadiazine is a sulfa derivative topical antibacterial historically used as a topical burn cream on second- and third-degree burns. It prevents the growth of a wide array of bacteria, as well as yeast, on the damaged skin. Studies however have found that it increased healing times and is therefore no longer recommended.
Silver sulfadiazine is typically delivered in a 1% solution suspended in a water-soluble base. The chemical itself is poorly soluble, and has only very limited penetration through the skin. Only when applied to very large area burns is absorption into the body generally a problem.
