فلامازين كريم للحروق والجروح – 50 جم

Flamazine 1% Cream – 50 g

Flamazine Cream 50 g is a topical antimicrobial medicine containing Silver Sulfadiazine 1% (10 mg/g). It is used to prevent and treat infections in burn wounds under medical supervision.

Silver sulfadiazine provides broad antimicrobial activity against many bacteria associated with wound infections. Flamazine may be prescribed as part of a comprehensive burn-care plan that includes wound cleaning, appropriate dressings and medical assessment.

Certain product information also supports its short-term use in selected infected leg ulcers, pressure sores and other wounds under professional supervision. These applications depend on the locally approved prescribing information.

Active Ingredient

Silver Sulfadiazine 1%

• Strength: 10 mg per gram.
• Pack size: 50 g.
• Pharmaceutical form: Topical cream.
• Therapeutic class: Topical antimicrobial, sulfonamide derivative.

Uses & Benefits

• Helps prevent infection in burn wounds.
• Helps manage bacterial infection in selected burns.
• Provides broad topical antimicrobial activity.
• May be prescribed for selected second-degree burns.
• May be used in specialist management of third-degree burns.

Important: Silver sulfadiazine is not routinely the preferred treatment for minor superficial burns, as it may delay healing compared with some modern wound-care options.

Mechanism of Action

Silver sulfadiazine releases antimicrobial silver ions and acts against susceptible microorganisms at the wound surface.

This helps reduce microbial contamination and supports infection management. It does not replace appropriate wound cleaning, debridement, dressing selection or systemic treatment when necessary.
