Sulfacetamide Cream

Generic Name: Sulfacetamide Cream and Gel (sul-fa-SEE-ta-mide)
Brand Name: Ovace

Sulfacetamide Cream is used for:

Treating bacterial infections of the skin, including dandruff. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Sulfacetamide Cream is a sulfonamide. It works by restricting the production of folic acid, which bacteria need for growth. This kills the bacteria.

Do NOT use Sulfacetamide Cream if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Sulfacetamide Cream
you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, severe rash, hives, difficulty breathing, dizziness) to any other sulfonamide medicine, such as acetazolamide, celecoxib, certain diuretics (eg, hydrochlorothiazide), glyburide, probenecid, sulfamethoxazole, valdecoxib, or zonisamide
you are taking methenamine

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Sulfacetamide Cream:
