Ss Sulfa Cream 15gm contains the following components:

• Chlorhexidine gluconate (0.2%): This is a broad-spectrum topical antiseptic that disrupts bacterial cell membranes, leading to leakage of cellular contents and bacterial death. It helps reduce bacterial contamination on wound surfaces and surrounding skin, lowering infection risk and supporting a cleaner healing environment. Its activity persists on the skin for some time after application, providing continued antimicrobial protection.
• Metronidazole (1%): This medicine is particularly effective against anaerobic bacteria that commonly grow in deep wounds, ulcers, and poorly oxygenated tissue. Inside susceptible microorganisms, it forms active metabolites that damage microbial DNA and inhibit nucleic acid synthesis, leading to bacterial death. This action also helps reduce foul odour sometimes associated with infected wounds and ulcers.
• Silver sulfadiazine (1%): This topical antibacterial agent releases silver ions slowly at the wound surface, which interfere with bacterial enzymes and cell membrane function, preventing bacterial growth and multiplication. It provides broad antibacterial coverage against many organisms commonly found in burns and wound infections, helping prevent infection spread and supporting safe wound healing conditions.

• Store Ss Sulfa Cream 15gm at room temperature away from direct heat and sunlight.
• Keep the container tightly closed after each use.
• Store in a clean, dry place away from moisture.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not use after the expiry date.

• Maintain a balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, as adequate nutrition supports tissue repair and wound healing.
• Drink sufficient fluids daily, as proper hydration helps maintain circulation and supports the recovery of damaged skin and tissues.
• Avoid smoking, as smoking reduces blood supply to tissues and significantly slows wound healing.
• Avoid pressure or friction over healing wounds, especially in pressure sores or ulcer areas, to prevent further skin damage.
