Povidone Iodine and Sucralfate Ointment

Povidone Iodine and Sucralfate Ointment is a topical medication used to treat and prevent infections in wounds, cuts, and burns. Povidone Iodine is an antiseptic that works by killing bacteria and other microorganisms, while Sucralfate is an anti-ulcer medication that works by forming a protective barrier over the wound to help promote healing.

Directions for use: Clean the affected area thoroughly with soap and water before applying the ointment. Apply a thin layer of ointment to the wound and cover with a sterile bandage. Repeat this process 2-3 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

Do not use if you have a history of hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. Avoid prolonged use of the ointment on large areas of the skin, as it can increase the risk of side effects.
