Drumazine 1% Silver Sulfadiazine Cream 5g

Drumazine 1% Silver Sulfadiazine Cream 5g Drumazine 1% Silver Sulfadiazine Cream is a trusted topical antimicrobial medication in Nigeria, manufactured by Drugfield Pharmaceuticals Limited. It is specifically formulated for the prevention and treatment of infections in burn wounds, ranging from minor household burns to more severe second- and third-degree injuries. How Drumazine Works The active ingredient, Silver Sulfadiazine (1% w/w), provides a dual-action defense. It slowly releases silver ions into the wound site, which disrupts the cell membranes and DNA of bacteria and fungi. This broad-spectrum antimicrobial action helps keep the wound sterile, preventing complications like sepsis while promoting natural skin healing. Key Uses and Indications
