Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% Sulfur 5% - 6 Oz

Although it is 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.

Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% & Sulfur 5% Cleanser is indicated in the topical control of acne vulgaris, acne rosacea seborrheic dermatitis.

Wash affected areas once or twice daily, or as directed by your physician. Avoid contact with eyes or mucous membranes.

Sodium sulfacetamide is a sulfonamide with antibacterial activity while sulfur acts as a keratolytic agent. Chemically sodium sulfacetamide is N-[(4-aminophenyl)sulfonyl]-acetamide monosodium salt, monohydrate. The structural formula is:

Although rare, sodium sulfacetamide may cause local irritation.

The most widely accepted mechanism of action of sulfonamides is the woods-fields theory which is based on the fact that sulfonamides act as competitive antagonists to para-aminobenzoic acid (FABA), 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 halflife has variously been reported as 7 to 12.8 hours. The exact mode of action of sulfur in the treatment of acne is unknown but it has been reported that it inhibits the growth of propionibacterium acnes andthe formation of free fatty acids.

Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% & Sulfur 5% Cleanser.
