Overview Povisan Ointment

Povisan Ointment acts as both an antiseptic and disinfectant, combating infection in wounds and cuts. Its application prevents and treats microbial growth, safeguarding the affected area. For external use only, apply as directed by your physician. Ensure the wound is clean and dry prior to application, washing hands meticulously before and after. Consistent use maximizes its effectiveness; avoid overuse, as this won't accelerate healing and might increase side effects. Maintaining cleanliness enhances its therapeutic action. Possible side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Persistent symptoms warrant medical consultation. Avoid eye contact; rinse thoroughly with water and seek immediate medical help if contact occurs.
