Silver Sulfadiazine is an antibiotic and is used to prevent and treat infections caused by second- and third-degree burns.

Silver Sulfadiazine kills multiple types of bacteria by damaging their protective coverings.

Silver Sulfadiazine is typically applied as a thin layer to the burn(s) one to two times a day. Apply enough silver Silver Sulfadiazine to cover the affected area(s) completely and evenly. If needed, apply more cream to replace any medication that has come off on bandages, clothing, or bed linens. Typically, your provider will ask you to continue treatment until the burn area has healed or is ready for grafting.
