ADDEX OINTMENT 10 GM

How ADDEX OINTMENT 10 GM Works

• ADDEX OINTMENT 10 GM is an iodophor, a compound that gradually releases free iodine. This mechanism ensures a sustained antimicrobial effect, providing a prolonged defense against infection. The released free iodine exhibits a broad spectrum of activity, effectively targeting bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Its action involves disrupting the structure and function of essential microbial components, leading to their inactivation and eventual elimination.
• The iodine molecules penetrate the microbial cells, interfering with proteins, enzymes, and nucleic acids crucial for their survival and replication. By disrupting these vital components, ADDEX OINTMENT 10 GM effectively halts the growth and spread of infection. Furthermore, the gradual release of iodine minimizes the risk of irritation or toxicity, making it a suitable option for topical application.
• ADDEX OINTMENT 10 GM's ability to combat a wide range of pathogens makes it a versatile treatment option for various skin infections, wounds, and burns. Its consistent and reliable action helps promote healing and prevent further complications arising from microbial activity. The sustained release mechanism ensures that the affected area remains protected for an extended period, facilitating a faster and more complete recovery.

Most side effects are temporary and disappear as your body adapts to the medicine. However, consult your doctor if these side effects persist or cause you concern.

• Keep ADDEX OINTMENT 10GM away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store ADDEX OINTMENT 10GM at room temperature.

• Use ADDEX OINTMENT 10 GM exactly as your doctor prescribes, following their instructions on dosage and duration for the best results.
• Prior to applying ADDEX OINTMENT 10 GM, ensure the ulcerated area is thoroughly cleaned to prevent infection and promote healing. Gently pat the area dry with a soft, clean cloth.
• After applying a thin layer of ADDEX OINTMENT 10 GM, carefully dress the ulcer area to maintain a clean and warm environment, which aids in the healing process. Use a sterile bandage or dressing material.
• When dressing the ulcer, be sure the covering is breathable and not airtight or watertight. This prevents moisture buildup, which can hinder healing and increase the risk of infection. Allow for air circulation around the wound.
• Take care to avoid contact with sensitive areas such as the eyes, mouth, and nose when applying ADDEX OINTMENT 10 GM. If accidental contact occurs, immediately rinse the affected area with plenty of cold water to remove any residual ointment. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.
• To reiterate, always follow your doctor's specific instructions regarding the use of ADDEX OINTMENT 10 GM. Consistent application as directed is crucial for effective treatment.
• Maintaining cleanliness before each application of ADDEX OINTMENT 10 GM is paramount. Use a mild antiseptic solution if necessary, but avoid harsh chemicals that might further irritate the ulcer.
• Proper dressing technique is vital. Ensure the dressing is secure enough to stay in place but not so tight that it restricts blood flow to the area, as this can impede healing. Change the dressing as frequently as your doctor advises.
• Regularly check the dressed ulcer to ensure there are no signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, pus, or pain. If any of these symptoms appear, consult your doctor immediately.
• Store ADDEX OINTMENT 10 GM in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion or misuse.
