Additional Information

Argosulfan cream promotes wound healing by creating a barrier against bacteria and reducing inflammation. It is well-tolerated and has been a mainstay in burn care for decades.

Pharmacological Effects: Silver sulfadiazine works by inhibiting bacterial growth and promoting wound healing. It penetrates the bacterial cell wall, interfering with protein synthesis, ultimately leading to bacterial cell death.

Research published in the Journal of Burn Care & Research supports the use of silver sulfadiazine in burn wound management.
