Sulfafurazole (INN, also known as sulfisoxazole) is a sulfonamide antibacterial with a dimethyl-isoxazole substituent. It possesses antibiotic activity against a wide range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms.[1] It is sometimes given in combination with erythromycin (see erythromycin/Sulfafurazole) or phenazopyridine. It is used locally in a 4% solution or ointment.
