Overview Healodine 10% Ointment

Topical antiseptic Healodine 10% Ointment combats wound and cut infections. Its antimicrobial action eliminates harmful microorganisms and inhibits their proliferation, thus preventing infection. Apply only externally, precisely as prescribed. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before application; wash hands meticulously before and after use. Consistent application maximizes effectiveness. Avoid overuse; it won't accelerate healing and may increase side effects. Maintain cleanliness of the affected area to optimize treatment. Potential side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Consult your physician if these persist. Avoid eye contact; rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical help if contact occurs. Discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention if an allergic reaction (rash, lip/throat/facial swelling, breathing/swallowing difficulties, dizziness, faintness, nausea) develops.
