FLAMAZINE Cream Ref.[9584] Active ingredients: Silver sulfadiazine

To be applied topically.

Burns and Leg Ulcers/Pressure Sores: A layer approximately 3 to 5mm thick should be applied to the affected area using a sterile glove or spatula. The area should then be covered by an absorbent gauze dressing and support bandage where necessary. The dressing should be changed and FLAMAZINE cream applied at least every 24 hours in burn treatment, or at least three times weekly otherwise, and debridement carried out as necessary.

As Flamazine cream can cause maceration of normal skin on prolonged contact; care should be taken to avoid spread onto non-ulcerated areas.

Not likely to occur with normal usage.

In extensively burned patients or in patients suspected of showing symptoms of excessive absorption, it is important to optimally maintain fluid balance, not only to prevent dehydration but also to avoid the possibility of renal failure.

If renal function is normal, fluids should be administered to maintain high urine output and assist in the rapid elimination of the drug.

For advice on the management of overdose please contact the National Poisons Centre on 0800 POISON (0800 764766).
