Spectradine 5% Ointment (15 Gm) Povidone Iodine Oint 5% By Martin & Brown

What is it used for?
Povidone iodine ointment is a topical antiseptic used to help prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes, and superficial wounds or burns.

How does it work?
It slowly releases iodine, which kills or inactivates many types of germs on the skin.

How to take/use it
For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer as directed by a doctor or the product label. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth and other mucous membranes. Do not use on deep or extensive wounds unless medically advised.

Common side effects
Temporary skin irritation, redness, itching or dryness may occur. Stop use and seek medical help if severe irritation, swelling or a rash develops.

Precautions
Do not use if allergic to povidone iodine or other iodine-containing products. Avoid prolonged or repeated use over large areas, especially in children, people with thyroid problems, or those with kidney problems. Seek medical advice for deep wounds, serious burns, animal bites, or wounds that are not healing. Ask a doctor before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
