Overview Povilan Ointment

Povilan Ointment acts as both an antiseptic and disinfectant. It's applied topically to treat and prevent wound and cut infections by eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting their proliferation. Use only as directed by your physician; external application only. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before use. Always wash hands meticulously before and after application. Consistent use maximizes effectiveness. Avoid overuse; it won't accelerate healing and may increase side effects. Maintaining cleanliness at the application site enhances efficacy. Potential side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Consult your doctor if these persist. Avoid eye contact; if it occurs, flush with water and seek immediate medical help. Discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice if an allergic reaction develops, indicated by symptoms such as rash, facial or lip swelling, breathing or swallowing difficulties, dizziness, fainting, or nausea.
