Mafenide, sold under the brand name Sulfamylon among others, is an antibiotic used to treat and prevent infections in people with burns.[2] Specifically it may be used for 2nd or 3rd degree burns.[1] It is applied to the skin as a cream or solution.[2]

Common side effects include pain at the site it was applied.[2] Other side effects may include allergic reactions and acidosis.[2] It should not be used in people with kidney problems.[3] It is a sulfonamide and is able to get through the eschar.[1][4]

Mafenide was discovered in the 1930s and came into medical use in the 1960.[3] It is available as a generic medication. In the United States 5 packs cost about 45 USD as of 2021.[5] It is also available in Japan.[6]
