Cipladine Ointment is an antiseptic and disinfectant medication used for the treatment and prevention of infections in minor cuts, wounds, abrasions, and burns. It is for external use only and is available over the counter. 
Key Ingredients and How It Works
  • Active Ingredient: It contains Povidone-Iodine 5% w/w.
  • Mechanism: The ointment works by slowly releasing iodine, a broad-spectrum microbicidal agent, which kills or prevents the growth of a wide range of infectious microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts, and protozoa. 
Uses and Benefits
  • Wound Care: Disinfects and cleans minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions, reducing the risk of infection and promoting faster healing.
  • Burn Treatment: Effective in preventing infections in minor and superficial burns.
  • Skin Infections: Manages various skin infections caused by bacteria and fungi, such as athlete’s foot and ringworm.
  • Surgical Preparation: Can be used to disinfect the skin before and after surgical procedures to reduce the risk of infection. 
Directions for Use and Precautions
  • Application: Clean and dry the affected area before application. Apply a thin layer of the ointment and gently massage it in. It can be used 1 to 3 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider.
  • Staining: The ointment has a natural brown color due to iodine, which may stain the skin and clothes temporarily; these stains can usually be removed with soap and water.
  • Safety:
    • For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and nose. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
    • Do not use on large, deep wounds, severely broken skin, or on burnt or inflamed skin without consulting a doctor due to the risk of excessive iodine absorption.
    • Do not use if you have thyroid problems or are on lithium therapy.
    • Not recommended for use in children under 2 years of age without a doctor’s advice.
