How Does It Work?

• Autolyse ointment works by combining the actions of papain and urea:
• Papain breaks down dead and damaged proteins in the wound.
• Urea softens and loosens dead tissue and helps retain moisture.
• Together, they help remove dead tissue and pus.
• This promotes faster healing and improves wound recovery.

Interactions with other medicines

• Medicines containing hydrogen peroxide may reduce the effectiveness of papain.
• Medicines containing heavy metals such as silver, mercury, or lead may interact and reduce its action.
• Using other medicated skin products together may affect its effectiveness.
