Flamazine Cream 1% is a topical antibacterial treatment commonly prescribed for the prevention and management of wound infections in pets. It is particularly effective for treating burns, surgical wounds, and ulcers, reducing the risk of bacterial contamination and promoting healing. Flamazine contains Silver Sulfadiazine, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that helps protect damaged skin from infection while supporting the natural recovery process.

How Flamazine Cream Works

Flamazine contains Silver Sulfadiazine, which acts against a wide range of bacteria by interfering with bacterial cell walls, preventing infection and supporting wound healing. The cream is applied topically to the affected area, creating a protective barrier while allowing the skin to recover. It is particularly effective against common wound pathogens such as Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas species.
