While absorption through intact skin has not been determined, sodium sulfacetamide is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally and excreted in the urine, largely unchanged. The biological half-life has variously been reported as 7 to 12.8 hours. The exact mode of action of sulfur in the treatment of acne is unknown, but it has been reported that it inhibits the growth of Propionibacterium acnes and the formation of free fatty acids."],"contraindications":["CONTRAINDICATIONS: Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% and Sulfur 5% Cleanser and Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% and Sulfur 5% Gel are contraindicated for use by patients having known hypersensitivity to sulfonamides, sulfur or any other component of this preparation.
