Description:

Each gram contains 100 mg of sodium sulfacetamide USP in a vehicle consisting of: ammonium lauryl sulfate, butylated hydroxytoluene, ceteareth-25, cetyl alcohol, cocamidopropyl betaine, disodium EDTA, glycerin, guar gum, methylparaben, propylene glycol, propylparaben, purified water, sodium thiosulfate, stearyl alcohol, triacetin.

Chemically it is Acetamide N-[4-aminophenyl)sulfonyl]-, monosodium salt, monohydrate, with the following structural formula:

Sodium sulfacetamide is an odorless, white, crystalline powder with a bitter taste. It is freely soluble in water, sparingly soluble in alcohol, while practically insoluble in benzene, in chloroform and in ether.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:

Sodium sulfacetamide exerts a bacteriostatic effect against sulfonamide sensitive Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms commonly isolated from secondary cutaneous pyogenic infections. It acts by restricting the synthesis of folic acid required by bacteria for growth, by its competition with para-aminobenzoic acid. There is no clinical data available on the degree and rate of systemic competition with para-aminobenzoic acid absorption of Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% Wash when applied to the skin or scalp. However, significant absorption of sodium sulfacetamide through the sin has been reported. The following in vitro data are available but their clinical significance is unknown. Organisms which show susceptibility to sodium sulfacetamide are: Streptococci, Staphylococci, E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas pyocyanea, Solmonella species, Proteus vulgaris, Nocardia and Actinomyces.

WARNINGS:

Sulfonamides are known to cause Stevens-Johnson syndrome in hypersensitive individuals. Stevens-Johnson syndrome also has been reported following the use of sodium sulfacetamide topically. Cases of drug-induced systemic lupus erythematosus from topical sulfacetamide also have been reported. In one of these cases, there was a fatal outcome. Keep out of the reach of children.

PRECAUTIONS:

For external use only. Not for ophthalmic use. General: Nonsusceptible organisms, including fungi, may proliferate with the use of this preparation.

Hypersensitivity reactions may recur when a sulfonamide is readministered, irrespective of the route of administration, and cross hypersensitivity between different sulfonamides may occur. If Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% Wash produces signs of hypersensitivity or other untoward reactions, discontinue use of the preparation. Systemic absorption of topical sulfonamides is greater following application to large, infected, abraded, denuded, or severely burned areas. Under these circumstances, potentially any of the adverse effects produced by the systemic administration of these agents could occur and appropriate observations and laboratory determinations should be performed.

Information For Patients:

Patients should discontinue Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% Wash if the condition becomes worse, or if a rash develops in the area being treated or elsewhere. Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% Wash also should be discontinued promptly and the physician notified if any arthritis, fever or sores in the mouth develop.

Pregnancy: Category C:

Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% Wash. It also is not known whether Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% Wash can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% Wash should be used by a pregnant woman only if clearly needed or when potential benefits outweigh potential hazards to the fetus.

Nursing Mothers:

Pediatric Use:

Safety and effectiveness in chlidren under the age of 12 years have not ben established.

OVERDOSAGE:

The oral LD 50 of sulfacetamide in mice is 16.5 g/kg. In the event of overdosage, emergency treatment should be started immediately. Manifestations: Overdosage may cause nausea and vomiting. Large oral overdosage may cause hematuria, crystalluria, and renal shutdown due to the precipitation of sulfa crystals in the renal tubules and the urinary tract. For treatment, contact your local Poison Control Center.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:

Seborrheic dermatitis including seborrhea sicca - Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% Wash: Wash affected areas twice daily (morning and evening), or as directed by your physician.

If skin dryness occurs it may be controlled by rinsing cleanser off sooner or using less frequently. Regular shampooing following Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% Wash is not necessary, but the hair should be shampooed at least once a week. As the condition subsides, the interval between applications may be lenghtened. Applications once or twice weeky or every other week may prevent recurrence. Should the condition recur after stopping therapy, the application of Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% Wash should be reinitiated as at the beginning of treament.

Secondary Cutaneous Bacterial Infections - Wet skin and liberally apply to areas to be cleansed, massage gently into skin for 10-20 seconds working into a full lather, rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
