Sucral Povi Ointment 20 gm

The Sucral Povi Ointment is an effective solution for treating and preventing wound infections. It is formulated with two active ingredients: povidone-iodine and sucralfate. Through its anti-ulcerant properties, the former forms a protective layer on the affected skin area, thus shielding it from further damage and facilitating its healing process. The latter, sucralfate, acts as an antiseptic on skin prone to infection. This component gradually releases iodine to eliminate or inhibit the proliferation of infectious microorganisms. Hence, this ointment can benefit first aid treatment for minor injuries such as cuts, burns, abrasions, ulcers, and blisters. Sucral Povi Cream helps maintain skin health effectively by attacking infection-causing microbes and aiding wound recovery.
