Overview Unidine Lotion

Dermasept Lotion acts as both an antiseptic and disinfectant. It's applied to wounds and cuts to treat and prevent infection by eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting their proliferation. Dermasept Lotion is for external use only, and should be used precisely as directed by your physician. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before application. Thorough handwashing is essential before and after use. Consistent application maximizes effectiveness; overuse won't accelerate healing and may increase side effects. Maintaining cleanliness of the affected area enhances its efficacy. Potential side effects include localized skin irritation, redness, or itching. Prolonged side effects warrant medical consultation. Avoid eye contact; if contact occurs, flush with water and seek immediate medical help. Discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention if an allergic reaction occurs, indicated by rash, facial or throat swelling, breathing difficulties, dizziness, faintness, or nausea.
