Description
DERMAZINE CREAM 250GMS is a large-format topical anti-infective cream, with its primary active ingredient being Silver Sulfadiazine (1%). Manufactured by companies like Dawa Life Sciences in Kenya, this cream is a critical medication for the prevention and treatment of infections, particularly in the context of burn wounds. Available in larger jars for extensive application, Dermazine Cream is commonly found in hospitals and licensed pharmacies, including Gathimaini Pharmacy in Thika. It exerts potent broad-spectrum antibacterial activity by inhibiting bacterial growth and survival, making it highly effective against common burn wound pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Beyond burns, it is also utilized for treating infected cuts, wounds, and bedsores. As a prescription-only medication (POM), its application requires careful adherence to medical instructions, including thorough wound cleansing and application using sterile gloves, to ensure effective healing and minimize potential side effects.
