Piodine 10 Ointment (Povidone Iodine 10% w/v)

Composition:
Povidone Iodine 10% w/v in an ointment base.

Description:
Piodine 10 Ointment is a high-strength topical antiseptic used to prevent and manage infections in wounds, cuts, abrasions, minor burns, and post-operative sites. It releases free iodine on contact with skin, which rapidly kills bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. The 10% formulation provides enhanced antimicrobial action for situations where stronger antiseptic coverage is required, forming a protective barrier over the affected area to support clean and safe healing.

Precautions:
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, ears, and mucous membranes. Do not apply on large deep wounds or severe burns without medical supervision. People with known iodine sensitivity, thyroid disorders, or those taking lithium should seek medical guidance before use. Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or increased discomfort occurs. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use only on medical advice.

Adverse Effects:
Possible mild skin irritation, redness, dryness, or temporary staining. Rare allergic reactions like rash or swelling may occur in sensitive individuals.

Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight. Keep the tube tightly closed and out of reach of children.
