----------
DESCRIPTION
Silver sulfadiazine cream, USP 1% is a soft, white, water dispersible
cream containing
the antimicrobial agent silver sulfadiazine in micronized form for
topical application. Each
gram of silver sulfadiazine cream contains 10mg of micronized silver
sulfadiazine.
This active agent has the following structural formula:
Silver sulfadiazine cream contains 1% w/w silver sulfadiazine. The
vehicle in which the
active ingredient is dispersed consists of water, stearyl alcohol,
white petrolatum,
polyoxyl 40 stearate, propylene glycol, isopropyl myristate, and
sorbitan monooleate
with 0.3% methylparaben as a preservative.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Silver sulfadiazine has broad antimicrobial activity. It is
bactericidal for many gram-
negative and gram-positive bacteria as well as being effective against
yeast. Results
from _in vitro_ testing are listed below. Sufficient data have been
obtained to demonstrate
that silver sulfadiazine will inhibit bacteria that are resistant to
other antimicrobial agents
and that the compound is superior to sulfadiazine. Studies utilizing
radioactive
micronized silver sulfadiazine, electron microscopy, and biochemical
techniques have
revealed that the mechanism of action of silver sulfadiazine on
bacteria differs from
silver nitrate and sodium sulfadiazine. Silver sulfadiazine acts only
on the cell wall to
produce its bactericidal effect.
