Overview Agradine 5% Ointment

Agradine 5% Ointment acts as a topical antiseptic and disinfectant, combating infections in wounds and minor cuts. Its mechanism involves eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting their proliferation, thus preventing infection. For external application only, use precisely as prescribed by your physician. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before applying. Always wash hands meticulously before and after use. Consistent application maximizes effectiveness. Exceeding the recommended dosage won't accelerate healing and may heighten the risk of adverse reactions. Maintaining cleanliness of the treated area enhances efficacy. Potential side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Consult your doctor if these symptoms are prolonged. Avoid eye contact; should this occur, flush with water and seek immediate medical assistance. Discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention if an allergic reaction develops, indicated by rash, facial or lip swelling, throat swelling, breathing difficulties, dizziness, faintness, or nausea.
