Overview Maxidine 5% Ointment

Dermasept 5% Ointment acts as both an antiseptic and disinfectant. It's employed to treat and prevent wound and cut infections by eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting their proliferation, thus protecting the affected area. Dermasept 5% Ointment is for topical use only, strictly following your physician's instructions. Ensure the wound is clean and dry before application. Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after use. Consistent application is crucial for optimal results. Overuse won't accelerate healing and may heighten side effects. Maintaining cleanliness of the affected area enhances its efficacy. Possible side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Prolonged side effects warrant a doctor's consultation. Avoid eye contact; rinse immediately with water and seek medical advice if contact occurs. Discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention if an allergic reaction—manifested as rash, facial/lip/throat swelling, breathing difficulties, dizziness, fainting, or nausea—develops.
