⛔ Contraindications ▾
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Sulfacetamide Sodium and Sulfur Cleanser is contraindicated for use by patients having known hypersensitivity to sulfonamides, sulfur or any other component of this preparation. Sulfacetamide Sodium and Sulfur Cleanser is not to be used by patients with kidney disease.
⚠️ Warnings ▾
WARNINGS: Although rare, sensitivity to Sulfacetaminde Sodium may occur. Therefore, caution and careful supervision should be observed when prescribing this drug for patients who may be prone to hypersensitivity to topical sulfonamides. Systemic toxic reactions such as agranulocytosis, acute hemolytic anemia, purpura hemorrhagica, drug fever, jaundice and contact dermatitis indicate hypersensitivity to sulfonamides.
Particular caution should be employed if areas of denuded or abraded skin are involved.
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
ADVERSE REACTIONS: Although rare, Sulfacetamide Sodium may cause local irritation.
🤰 Pregnancy ▾
Pregnancy: Category C - Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Sulfacetamide Sodium and Sulfur lotion.

Sulfacetamide Sodium and Sulfur cleanser should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
Pediatric Use - Safety and effectiveness in children under the age of 12 have not been established.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: The most widely accepted mechanism of action of sulfonamides is the Woods-Fildes theory, which is based on the fact that sulfonamides act as competitive antagonists to para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), an essential component for bacterial growth. While absorption through intact skin has not been determined, sulfacetamide sodium is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally and excreted in the urine, largely unchanged. The biological half-life has variously been reported as 7 to 12.8 hours.
The exact mode of action of sulfur in the treatment of acne is not known, but it has been reported that it inhibits the growth of Propionibacterium acnes and the formation of free fatty acids.

About this NDC listing & data coverage
Listed without an FDA application
This product's marketing category indicates it is marketed without an approved FDA application (no NDA, ANDA, or BLA on file). Having an NDC does not by itself establish FDA approval — the NDC Directory is a listing system, not an approval decision. Approval-linked data such as Orange Book therapeutic-equivalence ratings therefore does not apply.
