Information About Silver Sulfadiazine

Silver Sulfadiazine is a broad-spectrum topical antibacterial used to prevent and treat infection in burn wounds and chronic skin ulcers in Singapore. Available as a 1% topical cream applied once to twice daily to affected wound areas under a dressing, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore.
