Overview Povifine OZ 5% Ointment

Povifine OZ 5% Ointment acts as a topical antiseptic and disinfectant, effectively treating and preventing wound and cut infections. Its mechanism involves eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting 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 before application, and always wash your hands meticulously before and after use.

Maintaining wound cleanliness enhances the ointment's efficacy. Potential side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching.
