Overview Glentadine 5% Ointment

Topical Glentadine 5% Ointment provides antiseptic and disinfectant action, treating and preventing wound and cut infections. Its mechanism involves eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting their proliferation, thus preventing infection. Apply only externally, precisely as directed by your physician. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before application. Always wash hands thoroughly before and after use. Consistent application maximizes therapeutic benefits. Avoid overuse; increased frequency won't accelerate healing and may heighten potential side effects. Maintaining cleanliness of the affected area enhances efficacy. Possible side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Consult your doctor if these persist. Avoid eye contact; rinse immediately with water and seek medical help if contact occurs. Discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention if an allergic reaction develops (symptoms may include rash, facial/lip/throat swelling, breathing difficulties, dizziness, fainting, or nausea).
