oomis -“Sorry, Health, with all respect to your “health field” connection, the doctor SPECIFICALLY told us to use the silvadene (thank you for the spelling correction,DY) to relieve the PAIN of the burn, as well as for its antibiotic sulfa properties. And relieve the pain (nearly instantly) it absolutely did.”
I stand by my previous statement!
From Drugs.com: “Each gram of Silvadene Cream 1% contains 10 mg of micronized silver sulfadiazine. The cream vehicle consists of white petrolatum, stearyl alcohol, isopropyl myristate, sorbitan monooleate, polyoxyl 40 stearate, propylene glycol, and water, with methylparaben 0.3% as a preservative. Silvadene Cream 1% (silver sulfadiazine) spreads easily and can be washed off readily with water.”
The only way Silvadene gives any pain relief is because it’s a cream (i.e. white Vaseline) and/or the placebo effect!
