📋Overview
Silver sulfadiazine is a topical antimicrobial agent commonly used in the management of burn wounds. It combines silver, which has broad-spectrum antibacterial properties, with sulfadiazine, a sulfonamide antibiotic. This medication is primarily associated with preventing and controlling infections in damaged skin, particularly in patients with second- and third-degree burns. Its use helps reduce the risk of bacterial contamination in vulnerable skin areas.
