Sufrate Ssd Cream is a combination of three medicines: Sucralfate, Silver Sulfadiazine and Chlorhexidine Gluconate. Sucralfate is an anti-ulcerant which forms a coating over the affected skin surface. This creates a physical barrier that protects the skin from further injury allowing it to heal. Silver Sulfadiazine is an antibiotic. It stops bacteria from producing folic acid a vitamin required for bacterial multiplication. Chlorhexidine Gluconate is an antiseptic and disinfectant which effectively cleans out cuts, wounds and burns to prevent infection.

Sufrate Ssd Cream is used for the treatment of burns. Clean the affected area and then apply the cream using a sterile gloved hand or a sterile spatula. Apply it once or twice daily and re-apply to any areas from which it gets removed. The affected areas should be covered with the cream at all times. It may cause minor burning, stinging or irritation when applied. Inform your doctor if this does not go away. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas.
