25 g PVP JOD AL Ointment
PVP JOD AL Ointment contains povidone-iodine as an antiseptic which kills most microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi or viruses. Therefore, it can be used on superficial wounds, infected skin sites, minor burns or open skin sites such as pressure sores to prevent or minimize skin infections. The povidone iodine is a depot iodine, which is released slowly and over a longer period of time to develop the disinfecting effect.
PVP JOD AL Ointment is suitable for short-term use until symptoms such as redness, swelling or warmth are no longer present. However, if the symptoms still persist after 2 to 5 days, a doctor should be consulted.
Apply once or several times a day to the corresponding area.
PVP Iodine AL Ointment is available without a prescription.
How to use?
Apply the product to the affected skin area(s). The area(s) treated with the product can be covered with a bandage.
Duration of use?
Use should be continued until the symptoms have subsided. The medicine should not be used for more than 5 days without medical advice. If symptoms recur after the end of treatment, please consult your doctor.
Overdose?
Accidental ingestion of the medicine can lead to overdose symptoms, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, cramps and even collapse. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor immediately.
As a general rule: Pay particular attention to conscientious dosing, especially with infants, small children and older people. If in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist about any effects or precautions.
A dosage prescribed by a doctor may differ from the information on the package leaflet. As the doctor will adjust it individually, you should therefore use the medicine according to his instructions.
