Abstract

The disclosed wound-healing formulation adds ingredients from the group consisting of camphor, menthol and eucalyptus to known silver sulfadiazine-based formulations, or to known silver sulfadiazine-and-urogastrone-based formulations, preferably for the topical treatment of skin wounds such as cuts, burns, surgical wounds, etc. Preferred embodiments are in cream form. The disclosed formulation shows unexpected and startling improvement in wound healing rates over expected healing rates using the known silver sulfadiazine-based or silver sulfadiazine-and-urogastrone-based formulations alone.
