Sulfacetamide Foam


Generic Name: Sulfacetamide Foam (sul-fa-SEE-ta-mide)
Brand Name: Ovace

Sulfacetamide Foam is used for:

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

Sulfacetamide Foam 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 Foam if:

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Sulfacetamide Foam
  • 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

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

Before using Sulfacetamide Foam:

Some medical conditions may interact with Sulfacetamide Foam. 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
  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Sulfacetamide Foam. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

  • Silver-containing products (eg, silver sulfadiazine) because the effectiveness of Sulfacetamide Foam may be decreased
  • Methenamine because the side effects of Sulfacetamide Foam may be increased

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Sulfacetamide Foam may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Sulfacetamide Foam:

Use Sulfacetamide Foam as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

  • Sulfacetamide Foam is for use on the skin only.
  • Shake well before each use.
  • Wash your hands before and after using Sulfacetamide Foam.
  • Remove the clear cap from the can. Turn the can upside down and dispense a small amount of medicine (enough to cover the affected area) into your hand. Gently massage into the affected area until the foam disappears.
  • If you are applying Sulfacetamide Foam to the scalp, your hair should be towel-dried or dry before applying.
  • Do not wash the treated area immediately after using Sulfacetamide Foam.
  • Hair styling products may be applied as usual after this medicine has been applied.
  • Sulfacetamide Foam works best if it is used at the same times each day.
  • To clear up your infection completely, continue using Sulfacetamide Foam for the full course of treatment even if you notice improvement in a few days.
  • If you miss a dose of Sulfacetamide Foam, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Sulfacetamide Foam.
