Overview Zovi 5% Ointment

Zovi 5% Ointment acts as an antiseptic and disinfectant, treating and preventing wound and cut infections. Its mechanism involves eliminating harmful microorganisms and inhibiting their proliferation, thus protecting the affected area. For external application only, use precisely as directed by your physician. Ensure the wound is clean and dry before applying. Thorough handwashing is crucial before and after use. Consistent application maximizes therapeutic benefits; overuse won't accelerate healing and may increase side effects. Maintaining cleanliness of the affected area enhances efficacy. Possible side effects include local irritation, redness, or itching. Persistent symptoms warrant medical consultation. Avoid eye contact; if 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) develops.
