Overview Povifresh 5% Cream

Dermasept 5% Cream acts as an antiseptic and disinfectant. It's employed to treat and prevent wound and cut infections by eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting their proliferation, thus protecting the affected area. Dermasept 5% Cream is for external application only. Follow your physician's instructions precisely. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before application.
