Overview Sardine 5% Ointment

Topical Sardine 5% Ointment acts as an antiseptic and disinfectant, treating and preventing wound and cut infections. Its antimicrobial action eliminates harmful microorganisms and inhibits their proliferation, thus safeguarding the affected site. For external application only, use precisely as directed by your physician. Ensure the area is clean and dry prior to application. Always wash hands thoroughly before and after use. Consistent application maximizes efficacy. Avoid overuse; it won't accelerate healing and may exacerbate side effects. Maintaining cleanliness of the affected area enhances treatment. Potential side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Consult your doctor if these persist. Prevent eye contact; if accidental contact occurs, flush with water and seek immediate medical advice. Discontinue use immediately if an allergic reaction (rash, lip/throat/face swelling, breathing/swallowing difficulties, dizziness, fainting, nausea) occurs.
