Overview Rivodine 5% Ointment

Dermasept 5% topical ointment provides antiseptic and disinfectant action. It treats and prevents 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. Apply to clean, dry skin. Always wash hands before and after use. Consistent application maximizes effectiveness. Avoid overuse; it won't accelerate healing and may increase side effects. Maintaining cleanliness of the affected area aids treatment.
