Overview Povisun Ointment

Dermasept Ointment serves 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, thus protecting the affected area. Dermasept Ointment is for topical application only. Follow your physician's instructions precisely. Ensure the wound is clean and dry prior to application. Always wash your hands meticulously before and after use. Consistent application maximizes therapeutic benefits. Avoid overuse; it won't hasten healing and may increase side effects. Maintaining wound cleanliness enhances its efficacy. Potential side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Consult your doctor if these persist. Avoid eye contact; if accidental contact occurs, flush with water and seek immediate medical attention. Discontinue use immediately if an allergic reaction develops (symptoms include rash, facial/lip/throat swelling, breathing/swallowing difficulties, dizziness, faintness, or nausea).
