Para que é usado
Como funciona
Applied topically, it markedly reduces the bacterial population in the avascular tissues of second- and third-degree burns and exerts bacteriostatic action against many gram-negative and gram-positive organisms, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Dose habitual em adultos (resumo da bula)
Second- and third-degree burns (adjunctive): apply cream topically with sterile gloved hand once or twice daily to a thickness of approximately 1/16 inch; keep burned areas covered with cream at all times; continue until healing is progressing well or site is ready for grafting.
Gravidez e amamentação
- Gravidez
- Unknown Burn cream/solution; absorbed through large burns. No animal reproduction studies; fetal risk unknown. US label: not recommended in women who could become pregnant unless the burn covers more than 20% of the body or the benefit outweighs the possible fetal risk.
- Amamentação
- Unknown Not known if it passes into milk; no LactMed or e-lactancia record. US label: decide whether to stop breastfeeding or the drug. Large burns give real absorption (it can cause metabolic acidosis), so avoid if possible; never apply to the breast.
Efeitos adversos relatados
- Pain or burning sensation on application
- Rash
- Itching
- Facial edema
- Eosinophilia
- Tachypnea or hyperventilation
Contraindicações
- Hypersensitivity to the drug; cross-sensitivity to other sulfonamides is not known.
Quem deve ter cuidado
- Fatal hemolytic anemia with disseminated intravascular coagulation, presumably related to G6PD deficiency, has been reported.
- Contains sodium metabisulfite, which may cause allergic-type reactions including anaphylaxis and asthmatic episodes in susceptible people.
- Mafenide and its metabolite inhibit carbonic anhydrase, which may cause metabolic acidosis; monitor acid-base balance closely, especially in extensive second-degree burns and pulmonary or renal dysfunction.
Informe ao farmacêutico ou ao médico sobre gravidez ou amamentação, doença renal ou hepática, alergias e todos os outros medicamentos ou suplementos que você usa.
