Overview Metadine 10% Ointment

Povidone-iodine 10% ointment serves as a topical antiseptic and disinfectant. It's indicated for treating and preventing wound and cut infections by eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting their proliferation. Apply only externally, strictly following your physician's instructions. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry prior to application. Always wash hands thoroughly before and after use for optimal efficacy. Consistent use is crucial for maximum benefit; avoid overuse, as this won't accelerate healing and may increase side effects. Maintaining cleanliness of the affected area enhances its effectiveness. Potential side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Consult your doctor if these symptoms are prolonged. Avoid eye contact; if accidental contact occurs, immediately flush with water and seek medical advice. Discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention if an allergic reaction occurs (symptoms may include rash, facial/lip/throat swelling, breathing difficulties, dizziness, fainting, or nausea).
