Sulfacetamide is a synthetic sulfonamide antibiotic, which exerts its effect through inhibition of bacterial dihydrofolate synthetase, an enzyme responsible for the conversion of p-aminobenzoic acid into folic acid in bacterias. The topical formulation of the drug is prescribed for the treatment of acne vulgaris and the ophtalmic formulation is used in patients with eye infections.

BLEPHAMIDE

Approved Use

Blephamide ophthalmic ointment is indicated for steroid-responsive inflammatory ocular conditions for which a corticosteroid is indicated and where superficial bacterial ocular infection or a risk of bacterial ocular infection exists. Ocular corticosteroids are indicated in inflammatory conditions of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea, and anterior segment of the globe where the inherent risk of corticosteroid use in certain infective conjunctivitides is accepted to obtain diminution in edema and inflammation. They are also indicated in chronic anterior uveitis and corneal injury from chemical, radiation or thermal burns or penetration of foreign bodies.

Sample Use Guides

Topical: apply a thin film to affected areas twice daily. Ophtalmic suspension/ointment: two drops of suspension should be instilled into the conjunctival sac every four hours during the day and at bedtime. A small amount, approximately 1/2 inch ribbon of ointment, should be applied in the conjunctival sac three or four times daily and once or twice at night.
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
P. aeruginosa, S. marcescens, St. epidermidis, C. albicans, and A. fumigatus (spores) were exposed to two ophthalmic solutions each formulated with 10% sodium sulfacetamide and a preservative. Sulfacetamide solutions preserved with thimerosal have MIC values ranging from 0.2 to 2.8 for the five test microorganisms. The solutions preserved with parabens exhibit slightly higher MIC values for Pseudomonas, Serratia, and spores of Aspergillus (1.5-6.5) and significantly higher MIC values for Staphylococcus and Candida (19.6 and 5.0, respectively).
