Overview Povidej 5% Ointment

Povidej 5% Ointment acts as an antiseptic and disinfectant, treating and preventing wound and cut infections. Its antimicrobial action eliminates harmful microorganisms and inhibits their proliferation, thus safeguarding the affected area. For external application only, use precisely as directed by your physician. Ensure the wound is clean and dry prior to application, washing hands meticulously before and after use. Consistent application maximizes therapeutic benefit; avoid overuse, as this won't accelerate healing and may worsen side effects. Maintaining cleanliness of the affected area enhances efficacy. Potential side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Prolonged side effects warrant medical consultation. Avoid eye contact; rinse thoroughly with water and seek immediate medical help if contact occurs. Discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention if an allergic reaction—manifested as rash, facial or throat swelling, breathing difficulties, dizziness, fainting, or nausea—develops.
