Overview Povin 5% Ointment

Povin 5% Ointment acts as both 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. Apply only externally, precisely as directed by your physician. Ensure the wound is clean and dry before application. Always wash hands thoroughly before and after use for optimal hygiene. Consistent application maximizes therapeutic benefit. Avoid overuse; it won't expedite healing and may heighten potential side effects. Maintaining cleanliness around the application site enhances effectiveness. Minor skin irritation, redness, or itching may occur. Persistent symptoms warrant medical consultation. Avoid eye contact; if it happens, immediately flush with water and seek medical advice. Discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention if an allergic reaction (rash, lip/throat/facial swelling, breathing/swallowing difficulties, dizziness, faintness, nausea) develops.
