Povistop Ointment

Povistop Ointment may be used for the following wound and skin conditions:

• Infected skin wounds and cuts: Povistop Ointment helps by stopping the growth of bacteria and other germs, keeping minor injuries free from infection.
• Diabetic foot ulcers: It protects open sores from dangerous bacterial complications and supports the repair of damaged tissues.
• Surgical wounds: It keeps surgical incisions clean and sterile, lowering the risk of post-surgery infections.
• Burns: It guards damaged skin against secondary infections while providing a physical barrier that aids recovery.
• Bedsores (pressure ulcers): It helps heal deep tissue sores by shielding them from external irritants and bacteria.

Povistop Ointment is a topical combination that may be used for certain infected or contaminated wounds. Its components provide antimicrobial activity and help protect the wound surface, supporting an appropriate wound-healing environment.

• Helps Control Wound Infection: Ornidazole and povidone-iodine provide antimicrobial activity against susceptible microorganisms, helping reduce the microbial burden at the wound site.
• Protects the Wound Surface: Sucralfate can form a protective layer over damaged tissue, helping shield the wound from further irritation.
• Supports Wound Healing: By reducing microbial contamination and protecting injured tissue, the combination may support the natural healing process.
• Helps Reduce Local Discomfort: Protecting exposed or irritated tissue may help reduce local irritation and discomfort during wound recovery.

• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Take a small amount of Povistop Ointment to your fingertip and gently apply it to the clean, dry area affected, following your doctor’s instructions.
• Povistop Ointment is for external use only. Wash your hands before and after using Povistop Ointment to prevent the spread of infection.

• Eat Adequate Protein: Include protein-rich foods such as eggs, fish, lean meat, beans, lentils, tofu, and dairy products to provide nutrients needed for tissue repair.
• Stay Well-Hydrated: Drink adequate fluids throughout the day to support overall health and normal tissue function.
• Include Nutrient-Rich Foods: Eat a balanced diet containing sources of vitamin C, zinc, iron, and other nutrients involved in normal wound healing.
• Avoid Smoking: Smoking can reduce blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues, which may delay wound healing.
• Protect the Wound: Follow your healthcare provider's wound-care instructions and avoid unnecessary pressure, friction, or trauma to the affected area.

• For External Use Only: Use this medicine only on the skin and as directed. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, nose, and other mucous membranes.
• Inspect the Product Before Use: Do not apply the medicine if the tube is damaged, the seal is broken, or the product has an unusual change in colour, consistency, or smell.
• Avoid Prolonged Use Over Large Wounds: Do not apply the medicine over extensive areas of damaged skin or large open wounds for prolonged periods unless specifically advised by your doctor, as iodine may be absorbed into the bloodstream.
• Inform Your Doctor About Thyroid Problems: Tell your doctor if you have a thyroid disorder before using this product, particularly when treatment involves extensive areas of skin or prolonged use, as iodine absorption may affect thyroid function.
• Avoid Other Topical Products: Do not apply other creams, lotions, antiseptics, or cosmetics to the same area at the same time unless your doctor has advised you to do so.
