Ovace Cream


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

Ovace 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.

Ovace 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 Ovace Cream if:

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Ovace 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 Ovace Cream:

Some medical conditions may interact with Ovace Cream. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
