Dermasept 5% topical ointment acts as an antiseptic and antimicrobial agent. It's indicated for treating and preventing wound and cut infections by eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting their proliferation. Dermasept 5% is for external application only, strictly following your physician's instructions. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before application.
