Produktinformation

• Name: Silver sulfadiazine
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Silver sulfadiazine is a topical antibiotic that is used to prevent and treat burns. It has been shown to have antibacterial efficacy against antibiotic-resistant strains, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Silver sulfadiazine inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the bacterial cell wall and altering its permeability. This prevents the synthesis of proteins necessary for cell division, leading to cell death. It also exerts an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. The basic structure of silver sulfadiazine is similar to that of sulfadiazine, which is a known antifungal agent. Silver sulfadiazine has not been shown to be toxic in animal studies or human clinical trials. However, it should not be applied if there are open wounds or burns on the skin because it may cause localized pain and irritation due to its caustic nature.
