Overview Agradine 5% Ointment

Agradine 5% Ointment serves as a topical antiseptic and disinfectant.

Apply only externally, precisely as directed by your physician. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry prior to application. Always wash your hands meticulously before and after use for optimal hygiene. Consistent application is crucial for maximum therapeutic effect.
