Silvadene is a prescription topical antibiotic cream used to prevent and treat bacterial infections in serious second- and third-degree burns. Its active ingredient, silver sulfadiazine, belongs to the sulfa antibiotic class and works by interfering with bacterial DNA and cell walls. Treatment involves cleaning the burn area thoroughly before applying a thin layer of cream once or twice daily. It's crucial to keep the burn covered with the medication at all times, reapplying it if it gets washed or rubbed off. Severe burns require treatment in a hospital setting.
