How to use Silver Sulfadiazine

This drug is only to be used on the skin. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, avoid using this medication over your eyes.

To aid the healing process, your health care provider will clean and remove the dead tissue from the incision.

Apply this medication to the wound as directed by your doctor, usually 1 to 2 times daily, using sterile procedures (such as wearing sterile gloves and using sterile application instruments). The drug should be applied in a layer about one-sixteenth of an inch thick (1-2 millimetres) or as indicated. The cream should be applied to the wound at all times. Dressings can be used on top of the cream, but only if necessary. If some of the cream rubs off on the wound, reapply it as soon as possible. After hydrotherapy, the cream should be reapplied immediately.

Treatment normally lasts until the wound has healed completely or the spot is appropriate for skin grafting.
