Overview Nicodin Ointment

Dermasept Ointment acts as both an antiseptic and disinfectant. It's indicated for treating and preventing wound and cut infections by eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting their proliferation. Dermasept Ointment is for external application only, strictly following your physician's instructions. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry prior to application. Always wash your hands meticulously before and after use. Consistent application is crucial for optimal results. Avoid overuse; it won't accelerate healing and may intensify side effects. Maintaining cleanliness of the affected area enhances the ointment's efficacy. Potential side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Prolonged side effects warrant immediate medical consultation. Avoid eye contact; if contact occurs, flush with water and seek medical help. Discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention if an allergic reaction develops (symptoms include rash, facial/lip/throat swelling, breathing/swallowing difficulties, dizziness, faintness, or nausea).
