Dermazin is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial cream specifically formulated for the treatment and prevention of infections in wounds. It contains Silver Sulphadiazine, which acts as a powerful barrier against a wide range of bacteria (both Gram-positive and Gram-negative) and yeasts. It is considered a gold standard in clinical burn care due to its ability to keep wounds sterile during the healing process.
This product is primarily indicated for burn and wound management. It is used for:
Burn Treatment: Preventing and treating "burn sepsis" in second-degree and third-degree burns.
Infected Wounds: Managing bacteria in pressure sores (bedsores), leg ulcers, and deep abrasions.
Skin Grafts: Protecting donor sites and areas where skin grafts have been applied.
Post-Surgical Care: Preventing infection in localized surgical wounds that are at risk of contamination.
Silver Sulphadiazine (1% w/w): A combination of silver (which kills bacteria by disrupting their cell membranes) and sulphadiazine (a sulfa antibiotic that stops bacterial growth).
Application Thickness: Apply a layer approximately 1mm to 2mm thick directly onto the wound.
Frequency: Usually applied once or twice daily.
Consistency: The wound should remain covered with the cream at all times. If the cream is rubbed off by clothing or bedding, it must be reapplied immediately.
Preparation: Clean the wound and remove any dead tissue (debridement) as advised by a healthcare professional.
Application: Using a sterile gloved hand or a sterile spatula, spread the cream evenly over the affected area.
Dressing: The wound can be left exposed or covered with a sterile gauze bandage.
Re-application: Before applying a new layer, wash away the old cream and any wound fluid (exudate) using sterile saline or water.
Sulfa Allergy: Do not use if you are allergic to sulfonamides (sulfa drugs).
Age Restriction: Should not be used on premature infants or newborns under 2 months of age.
Pregnancy: Avoid use during the late stages of pregnancy (near term), as it may affect the baby’s liver function.
Sunlight: Exposure to direct sunlight can cause the silver in the cream to darken (turning the cream gray or black). This does not mean the cream has expired, but it is best to keep the treated area covered.
Indicated For: Adults and children over 2 months old.
Emergency Care: An essential component of home and industrial first-aid kits for immediate burn intervention.
Q: Does Dermazin sting when applied?
A: No. Unlike some antiseptics, Dermazin is usually painless and has a cooling, soothing effect on hot or inflamed skin.
Q: Can I use it on a minor cut?
A: While it is an antibiotic, Dermazin is specifically optimized for burns and large ulcers. For a simple minor cut, a standard triple-antibiotic ointment (like Neomycin) is typically sufficient.
Q: How long should I use it?
A: Use should continue until the wound has healed significantly or until a skin graft is performed. For long-term use over large areas, our pharmacist may recommend periodic blood tests.
