About ZAD G CREAM

ZAD G CREAM belongs to a class of medicines known as 'sulfa antibiotics' primarily used to treat burns and wound infections. A burn damages the skin or deeper tissues caused by hot liquids, fire, electricity, and chemicals. The degree of severity of burns is based on the size and depth of the burn.

ZAD G CREAM is made up of two medicines, namely: Sulfadiazine and Zinc Sulfate. Sulfadiazine is a bactericidal antibiotic drug (kills bacteria) acting against broad gram-negative, gram-positive bacteria, and yeast. It prevents the bacteria from producing folic acid, a nutrient required for bacterial multiplication, and acts upon bacterial cell walls and cell membranes. This helps decrease the risk of the bacteria spreading to the surrounding skin or the blood that causes a severe blood infection (sepsis). On the other side, Zinc Sulfate is used to improve the zinc deficiency that occurs after burns. Zinc sulfate has antioxidant, and immunomodifier effects that improve burn outcomes help wound healing at a faster rate.

You are advised to use ZAD G CREAM for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. ZAD G CREAM has common side effects as every medicine does. These include burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side effects gradually resolve during the treatment and do not require medical attention.

Brief your medical history to the doctor, if you are allergic to ZAD G CREAM or its components. Please consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to conceive before using ZAD G CREAM since it may affect the unborn baby. It is not known whether ZAD G CREAM passes into breast milk or not. It is advised to seek medical advice before using ZAD G CREAM if you are a breastfeeding mother. ZAD G CREAM should be used with caution in elderly persons, especially those dealing with kidney and liver issues.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Skin infection: A skin infection can occur when the skin is broken, cut, or wounded. This skin infection allows the pathogenic microorganisms to enter and invade the tissues surrounding the wound. Infection of the wound can trigger the body's immune response, causing inflammation and tissue damage, and eventually slows down the healing process.

Burns: A burn damages the skin or deeper tissues that can be caused by hot liquids, fire, electricity, and chemicals. The degree of severity of burns is based on the size and depth of the burn.
