Overview Metpo Ointment

Metpo Ointment serves as both an antiseptic and disinfectant. Its purpose is to treat and prevent wound and cut infections by eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting their proliferation. Application is strictly external. Follow your physician's instructions precisely. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before use. Always wash your hands meticulously before and after application. Consistent use maximizes effectiveness. Avoid overuse; it won't accelerate healing and may increase side effects. Maintaining cleanliness around the treated area enhances its efficacy. Potential side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Consult your doctor if these persist. Prevent eye contact; if contact occurs, flush with water and seek medical advice immediately. Discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention if an allergic reaction develops (symptoms may include rash, facial or throat swelling, breathing difficulties, dizziness, faintness, or nausea).
