Overview Glentadine 10% Ointment

Topical antiseptic Glentadine 10% Ointment combats wound and cut infections. Its antimicrobial action eliminates harmful microorganisms and inhibits their proliferation, preventing infection. Apply only externally, precisely as directed by your physician. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before application. Wash hands thoroughly before and after use. Consistent application maximizes effectiveness. Avoid overuse; it won't hasten healing and may increase side effects. Maintaining cleanliness at the application site enhances its efficacy. Potential side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Consult your doctor if these persist. Avoid eye contact; if accidental, rinse thoroughly and seek immediate medical attention.
