Question:

What is silver sulfadine? Is it over the counter? Does it have antibiotics in it?


Answers:

Silver sulfadiazine IS an antibiotic. It is typically called "Silvadene", and is applied as a topical (spread on the skin), mostly in a cream, as a treatment for severe burns. It requires a prescription and is fairly expensive - mostly because when used properly a LOT of it is applied. It is particularly well suited to burns because it helps lift the dead skin.
