Isopto-cetamide

I Brand Name(s) AK-Sulf, Bleph-10, Carmol, Isopto Cetamide, Klaron, OcusulD 10, Oph-... [Pg.1157]

Sulfonamides that are used topically. These consist of sulfacetamide (Sulamyd and Isopto Cetamide), which is used in ophthalmic infections, and sulfamylon (Mafenide) and silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene), which are used in infections associated with bums. [Pg.662]

Sulfacetamide is the N1-acetyl-substituted derivative o/sulfanilamide. Its aqueous solubility is 90 times that of sulfadiazine. This drug (isopto-cetamide, others) is employed extensively for ophthalmic infections. Very high aqueous concentrations are not irritating to the eye and are effective against susceptible microorganisms. The drug penetrates readily into ocular fluids and tissues. Sensitivity reactions to sulfacetamide are rare, but it should not be used in patients with known sulfonamide hypersensitivity. [Pg.718]
