General
If irritation develops, use of the product should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted. Patients should be carefully
observed for possible local irritation or sensitization during longterm therapy. The object of this therapy is to achieve desquamation without irritation, but sodium sulfacetamide and sulfur can cause reddening and scaling of the epidermis. These
side effects are not unusual in the treatment of acne vulgaris, but patients should be cautioned about the possibility.
Warnings
Although rare, sensitivity to sodium sulfacetamide may occur.
Therefore, caution and careful supervision should be observed when prescribing this
drug for patients who may be prone to hypersensitivity to topical sulfonamides.
Systemic toxic reactions such as agranulocytosis, acute hemolytic anemia, purpura
hemorrhagica, drug fever, jaundice, and contact dermatitis indicate hypersensitivity
to sulfonamides. Particular caution should be employed if areas of denuded or abraded skin are involved.
FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. Keep away from eyes. Keep out of reach of children.
In case of accidental ingestion contact a poison control center immediately. Keep
container tightly closed.
Pregnancy
-
Category C
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% and Sulfer 1% Emulsion. It is not known whether Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% and Sulfer 1% Emulsion can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Sodium Silfacetamide 10% and Sulfer 1% Emulsion should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Indications
Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% - Sulfur 1% Emulsion is indicated in the topical control of acne vulgaris, acne rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis.
Precautions
-
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness in children under the age of 12 have not been established.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether sodium sulfacetamide is excreted in the human milk following topical use of Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% and Sulfur 1% Emulsion. However, small amounts of orally administered sulfonamides have been reported to be eliminated in human milk. In view of this and because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Sodium Sulfacetamide 10%
and Sulfur 1% Emulsion is administered to a nursing woman.
Clinical Pharmacology
The most widely accepted mechanism of action of sulfonamides is the Woods-Fildes theory, which is based on the fact that
sulfonamides act as competitive antagonists to para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), an essential component for bacterial growth. While absorption through intact skin has not been determined, sodium sulfacetamide is readily absorbed from the
gastrointestinal tract when taken orally and excreted in the urine, largely unchanged. The biological half-life has variously been reported as 7 to 12.8 hours. The exact mode of action of sulfur in the treatment of acne is known, but it has been
reported that it inhibits the growth of Propionibacterium acnes and the formation of free fatty acids.
Information for Patients
Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips and mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse with water. If excessive irritation
develops, discontinue use and consult your physician.
