structural formula:
Each gram of SILVADENE Cream 1% contains 10 mg of micronized silver
sulfadiazine.
The cream vehicle consists of white petrolatum, stearyl alcohol,
isopropyl myristate,
sorbitan monooleate, polyoxyl 40 stearate, propylene glycol, and
water, with
methylparaben 0.3% as a preservative. SILVADENE Cream 1% (silver

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 membrane and cell wall to produce its bactericidal
effect.
