Overview Povine Ointment

Dermasept Ointment acts as both an antiseptic and disinfectant. It's indicated for treating and preventing wound and cut infections by eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting their proliferation. Apply only externally, following your physician's instructions precisely. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before application. Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after use. Consistent application maximizes effectiveness. Avoid overuse; it won't hasten healing and may increase side effects. Maintaining cleanliness around the affected area enhances the ointment's efficacy. Possible side effects include local skin irritation, redness, or itching. Consult your doctor if these persist. Avoid eye contact; if contact occurs, flush with water and seek immediate medical help. Discontinue use immediately if an allergic reaction occurs, indicated by symptoms such as rash, lip, throat, or facial swelling, breathing or swallowing difficulties, dizziness, faintness, or nausea.
