Sulfamylon®* For 5% Topical Solution
(Mafenide Acetate, USP)
Powder
Sulfamylon® For 5% Topical Solution is available in
packets containing 50 g of sterile mafenide acetate to be prepared using 1000
mL Sterile Water for Irrigation, USP or 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation, USP.
After mixing, the solution contains 5% w/v of mafenide acetate. The solution is
an antimicrobial preparation suitable for topical administration. Mafenide
acetate exerts broad bacteriostatic action against many gram-negative and
gram-positive organisms, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and certain strains
of anaerobes.
Sulfamylon® For 5% Topical Solution is indicated for
use as an adjunctive topical antimicrobial agent to control bacterial infection
when used under moist dressings over meshed autografts on excised burn wounds.
Sulfamylon® For 5% Topical Solution is contraindicated
in patients who are hypersensitive to mafenide acetate. It is not known whether
there is a cross sensitivity to other sulfonamides. Sulfamylon®
and its metabolite, p-carboxybenzenesulfonamide, inhibit carbonic anhydrase,
which may result in metabolic acidosis, usually compensated by
hyperventilation.
