Description
ointment is used to treat and prevent infections in wounds, cuts, ulcers, and burns. It helps keep the wound clean, stops the growth of harmful germs, and supports faster healing. Doctors often recommend it for wounds that are infected or at risk of getting infected. It contains metronidazole and povidone iodine as active ingredients.
Metronidazole works by killing certain bacteria that grow in low-oxygen environments, such as deep or infected wounds. It helps reduce swelling, discharge, and bad odour from infected skin. Povidone-Iodine, on the other hand, is an antiseptic that slowly releases iodine to kill a wide range of germs, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
This medication provides powerful protection against infection and helps wounds heal more effectively. The ointment is intended for external use only and should be applied as directed by your healthcare provider. Always clean the area thoroughly before applying and notify your doctor if you experience irritation or any other side effects.
