Frequently asked questions about Sulfanilamide

What is sulfanilamide?
Sulfanilamide is a vaginal antifungal cream that was used to treat vaginal yeast infections. It works by stopping the growth of fungus causing the infection.
Is sulfanilamide still available?
No, there are currently no brand or generic versions available in the United States.
Why was sulfanilamide discontinued?
It's not clear why the manufacturer (Mylan) discontinued sulfanilamide. There has been a shortage of sulfanilamide since at least November 2019. It's possible that the demand for the medication became too low and the manufacturer decided to stop making it, because there are other similar medications that work faster than sulfanilamide.
