Overview Microdine Ointment

Microdine Ointment serves as both an antiseptic and disinfectant, combating wound and cut infections. Its action involves eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting their proliferation, thus preventing infection. For external application only, use strictly as prescribed by your physician. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry prior to application. Always wash your hands meticulously before and after use for optimal effectiveness. Consistent application is key to maximizing benefits; avoid overuse, as this won't accelerate healing and may increase side effects. Maintaining cleanliness of the affected area enhances the ointment's efficacy. Possible side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Prolonged side effects warrant a doctor's consultation. Avoid eye contact; rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical help if contact occurs. Discontinue use immediately and seek immediate medical attention if an allergic reaction—manifested as rash, facial/throat/lip swelling, breathing/swallowing difficulties, dizziness, fainting, or nausea—develops.
