POVIGIN OINTMENT
₹220.00
POVIGIN Ointment is an antiseptic and disinfectant agent used for the treatment and prevention of infections in minor wounds and cuts. It contains the active ingredient povidone-iodine, which works by killing harmful microbes like bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
Key Details
- Active Ingredient: Povigin Ointment typically contains Povidone Iodine 5% w/w or 10% w/w.
- Mechanism of Action: It works by slowly releasing iodine, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, which kills or inhibits the growth of infection-causing microorganisms.
- Form: It is an ointment or cream intended for external use only.
Uses
Povigin Ointment is used in the following scenarios:
- Treating and preventing infection in minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions.
- Preventing infections in minor burns and ulcers.
- Disinfecting the skin before surgical procedures to reduce the risk of infection.
How to Use
- Clean the affected area with soap and water and dry it thoroughly.
- Apply a small amount of the ointment to the affected area.
- You may cover the area with a sterile bandage if needed.
- Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after application.
- Use it regularly as directed by a healthcare professional, but generally not for longer than one week without consulting a doctor.
Potential Side Effects and Precautions
Common side effects are generally mild and localized to the application site.
- Common Side Effects:
- Skin irritation, redness, or itching.
- Dry or peeling skin.
- Temporary skin discoloration (stains can be removed from clothes with soap and water).
- Precautions:
- External Use Only: Avoid contact with eyes, nose, or mouth. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Do Not Use On Large Areas: Avoid using on deep wounds, large areas of broken skin, or severe burns, as this can lead to excessive absorption of iodine into the blood, which may be toxic.
- Thyroid Disorders: Use with caution if you have thyroid problems, as iodine absorption can affect thyroid function tests or cause an imbalance.
- Allergies: Discontinue use and seek medical help immediately if you notice signs of an allergic reaction, such as a rash, hives, or swelling of the face/throat.
- Drug Interactions: Consult a doctor if you are on lithium therapy or using other topical medicines, as interactions may occur.
