Overview Ovidine 5% Ointment

Dermasept 5% Ointment acts as an antiseptic and antimicrobial agent, treating and preventing wound and cut infections. Its action eradicates harmful microorganisms and inhibits their proliferation, thus protecting the affected site. Dermasept 5% Ointment is for external application only, used precisely as prescribed by your physician. Ensure the wound is clean and dry prior to application. Always wash your hands diligently before and after use for optimal hygiene. Consistent application is key to maximizing therapeutic benefits. Avoid overuse; increased amounts won't accelerate healing and may heighten potential side effects. Maintaining cleanliness of the affected area enhances treatment efficacy. Minor skin reactions such as irritation, redness, or itching may occur. Consult your doctor if these symptoms are persistent. Eye contact must be avoided; rinse immediately with water and seek medical advice if it occurs. Discontinue use and seek immediate medical help if an allergic reaction develops (symptoms include rash, facial or lip swelling, throat swelling, breathing difficulties, dizziness, fainting, or nausea).
