Silgard 25Gm, in the context of a cream or ointment, is a topical anti-infective medication. Its primary active ingredient is Silver Sulfadiazine, which is a sulfa derivative antibiotic. It works by inhibiting the growth of a wide range of bacteria, including both Gram-negative and Gram-positive types, and can also be effective against certain yeasts. Silver Sulfadiazine achieves its antibacterial effect by disrupting bacterial cell walls and membranes, and by interfering with the synthesis of folic acid, a vital nutrient for bacterial multiplication.
In some formulations, Chlorhexidine Gluconate is also included. Chlorhexidine is a broad-spectrum antiseptic that works by preventing the growth of bacteria and killing existing ones on the skin. The combination of these two agents provides enhanced protection against infection and can help reduce inflammation.
The cream is typically applied directly to the affected skin area. It is important for the wound to be clean before application. It helps to prevent and treat wound sepsis (serious infection) by stopping bacteria from multiplying and spreading to surrounding skin or the bloodstream.
