Monitor blood counts with extensive application over large burn areas. Use with caution in patients with sulfonamide allergy or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Avoid prolonged use without medical supervision.
Silver sulfadiazine releases silver ions that interfere with bacterial DNA and disrupts cell membranes. Chlorhexidine binds to bacterial cell walls causing lysis. Together they provide synergistic broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
