Sofraheal Cream (Fradiomycin Sulphate) | Used for Cuts, Burns, and Wound Infection Control
Sofraheal Cream (Fradiomycin Sulphate) is a topical antibiotic cream used to treat and prevent bacterial skin infections in minor cuts, wounds, burns, abrasions, and skin conditions like impetigo or eczema. It helps prevent infection, reduces redness and irritation, and supports faster healing of damaged skin.
Product Overview
Sofraheal Cream is a potent topical antibiotic containing Fradiomycin Sulphate (also known as Neomycin), a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside designed to treat and prevent bacterial skin infections in minor cuts, wounds, burns, abrasions, and skin conditions like impetigo or eczema. This medicated cream is engineered to eliminate various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria that colonize open wounds, burns, and inflammatory skin conditions. By targeting the protein synthesis of harmful pathogens, Sofraheal Cream effectively halts bacterial growth, reduces pus formation, and accelerates the natural healing process of the skin. Its soothing formulation is ideal for primary infections like impetigo and secondary infections resulting from cuts, scratches, or insect bites.

Mechanism of Action
- Ribosomal Binding: The active Fradiomycin Sulphate binds irreversibly to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome.
- Protein Synthesis Inhibition: By binding to the ribosome, it interferes with the bacteria's ability to translate mRNA into essential proteins.
- Genetic Code Misreading: It causes the bacterial cell to misread its genetic code, leading to the production of non-functional or toxic proteins.
- Bacterial Cell Wall Damage: The accumulation of defective proteins eventually disrupts the integrity of the bacterial cell membrane.
- Bactericidal Effect: This multi-stage disruption leads to the death of the bacterial cell, effectively clearing the infection from the skin surface.
Key Benefits
- Powerful Antibacterial Action: Highly effective against common skin pathogens, including Staphylococcus and various gram-negative bacteria.
- Prevents Infection Spread: Quickly neutralizes bacteria on the skin surface to prevent localized infections from spreading to larger areas.
- Versatile Wound Care: An essential component for managing minor burns, lacerations, and post-surgical wounds to ensure sterile healing.
- Non-Irritating Formula: Designed to be gentle on damaged skin while delivering high concentrations of the antibiotic exactly where needed.
- Reduces Healing Time: By eliminating bacterial interference, it allows the skin's natural regenerative processes to work more efficiently.
Usage
Dosage
For most bacterial skin infections, apply Sofraheal Cream two to three times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. The amount used should be sufficient to cover the entire affected area with a thin layer. Treatment duration typically ranges from 7 to 10 days; however, it is important to complete the full course even if the skin appears healed to ensure all bacteria are eradicated and prevent antibiotic resistance.
Administration
| Step | Action |
| Preparation | Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before use |
| Cleaning | Gently clean the affected area with mild soap and pat dry |
| Application | Squeeze a small amount of cream onto your fingertip |
| Coverage | Apply a thin film over the wound or infected site |
| Dressing | Leave the area uncovered unless a doctor advises using a sterile bandage |
| Disposal | Wash your hands immediately after application to avoid cross-contamination |
Uses
Impetigo Treatment: Effectively clears highly contagious bacterial skin sores and blisters, particularly in children.
Infected Minor Wounds: Prevents and treats infections in small cuts, abrasions, and scratches.
Secondary Infections: Manages bacterial overgrowth in pre-existing conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or herpes simplex.
Burn Management: Protects minor burns and scalds from becoming infected during the recovery phase.
Folliculitis Relief: Treats bacterial infections of the hair follicles that cause red, swollen bumps.
Post-Surgical Care: Assists in keeping minor surgical incisions or suture lines sterile and free from pathogens.
FAQs
Q: What is Sofraheal Cream?
A: Sofraheal Cream (Fradiomycin Sulphate 0.5%) is a topical antibiotic cream used to treat bacterial skin infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, stopping bacterial growth and promoting healing of the affected skin.

A: It is used to treat and prevent superficial bacterial skin infections including minor cuts and abrasions, grazes and scrapes, minor burns, infected wounds and ulcersand post-procedure local skin infections
Q: How does Sofraheal Cream work?
A: Fradiomycin Sulphate belongs to the aminoglycoside class of antibiotics. It works by binding to bacterial ribosomes and blocking protein synthesis, causing bacterial cell death. This stops the infection from spreading and supports the skin's natural healing process.
Q: How should I apply Sofraheal Cream?
A: Clean and pat dry the affected area. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected skin once or twice daily, or as directed by your doctor. Cover with a sterile dressing if recommended. Wash your hands thoroughly after application unless the hands are the area being treated.
