Description

Sulfacetamide Lotion 10% X 118 mL is a topical antibacterial formulation used in the treatment of acne vulgaris and seborrheic dermatitis. It functions by inhibiting bacterial folic acid synthesis, thereby reducing the presence of acne-causing bacteria and improving associated skin inflammation.

The lotion should be applied to the affected areas as directed by a healthcare provider, typically one to three times daily depending on severity and response. It is intended for external use only and should be used consistently for optimal therapeutic effect. Absorption through the skin is minimal when used appropriately.

Potential side effects include localized skin irritation, dryness, and allergic reactions, particularly in individuals sensitive to sulfonamides. Concurrent use with other topical acne treatments should be avoided due to the risk of increased irritation or adverse reactions. Clinical monitoring is recommended for long-term or widespread application.
