My husband has a leg ulcer on his shin. He had surgery in April to clean the wound and was given Bactrazine ointment to use. He is on chemotherapy, called Sutent. We have tried all sorts of creams but we cannot get the ulcer to heal. It has been over a year now. We live in Durban South Africa, can anyone please give us advice and will Terrasil actually work?

used to have some of this ran out would like to have some more.Gene ## Silvadene contains the active ingredient Silver Sulfadiazine, it is a topical antibacterial, but it has actually been recommended that it not be used in recent times, as it has been found to lengthen healing times, rather than improve them. I do not have any information on where it can be purchased, have you tried asking your doctor, or a pharmacist?

Will I fail a urine test because of prednisone 20 mg and 400 mg Acyclovir? The er said I have Bell's palsy. I got to take one in two days from now for probation. And if it fails there they take u to jail and give you a new charge for v o p. Please help. Thank you. Update 6/1/2016 12:35:20 PM: I failed a urine test for probation showing positive for methamphetamine. I have not taken anything other than silver sulfadiazine and something else that the e.r. gave me for Bells Palsy. ## I took a urine test at a homeless shelter. I had taken Prednisone for pain an had a positive for Marijuana. They also claimed I was positive for methamphetamine and I have not done that for 5 months. Can Prednisone cause me to be positive for methamphetamine?
