Burcut Ointment

Burcut Ointment belongs to the class of medications called 'antiseptic and disinfectant,' primarily used to treat and prevent skin infections in minor burns, cuts, and abrasions (the first layer of skin is scraped off). A wound occurs when your skin is injured or broken, resulting in tissue or skin damage, bleeding, or infection.

Burcut Ointment is a combination drug containing Metronidazole, Povidone-Iodine and Sucralfate. Povidone iodine works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes. Metronidazole inhibits protein synthesis and leads to cell death, thereby killing the bacteria. Sucralfate helps form a protective barrier over the wound to promote healing. Collectively, Burcut Ointment helps treat cuts, wounds and infections.

Burcut Ointment is for external use only. As with every medicine, Burcut Ointment has common side effects. These include local swelling, itchiness, redness, small blisters, and irritation at the application site. These side effects gradually resolve during the treatment and do not require medical attention.

Brief your medical history to the doctor if you are allergic to iodine or povidone. Let your doctor know if you have an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism), thyroid disease, liver, or kidney problems. Using Burcut Ointment during breastfeeding may increase the iodine levels in breast milk, which can cause hypothyroidism in breastfed infants. Please consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to conceive before using Burcut Ointment.

The detailed uses of Burcut Ointment are as follows:

• Treatment of Infected Skin Wounds:The combination is very effective for treating skin infections caused by both bacteria and fungi, as well as for preventing wounds from becoming prone to infection.
• Ulcer Prevention and Treatment:It is effective in treating and preventing ulcers and wound infections in both acute and chronic circumstances. Sucralfate protects the ulcerated area, while metronidazole and povidone iodine combat any bacterial or microbial infections that may impede the healing process.
• Rosacea and Acne:The metronidazole component is often used to treat rosacea, a chronic skin disorder that causes facial redness, irritation, and, in some cases, pustules. The lotion may help reduce inflammation and bacterial activity during rosacea flare-ups.
• Post-surgical Wound Care:Following specific skin procedures, this combination can be used to prevent infection while promoting faster healing by protecting the skin and reducing the bacterial burden.
• Burns:It can also be used to treat minor burns, particularly those that are at risk of infection or are not healing adequately. The povidone iodine prevents infection, while sucralfate protects the healing tissue.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use.
• Burcut Ointment is for external use only.
• Wash your hands before and after using Burcut Ointment.<
• Clean and dry the affected area. Apply a thin layer of Burcut Ointment and gently massage it into the skin until absorbed.
• Avoid contact with the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. If Burcut Ointment comes into contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse with water immediately.

Burcut Ointment is an antiseptic and disinfectant used to treat and prevent skin infections in minor burns, lacerations (deep cuts in the skin), cuts, and abrasions (the first layer of skin is scraped off). Burcut Ointment is also used in post-surgical dressing, post-cosmetic and plastic surgery, traumatic wounds, post-episiotomy dressing, post-surgical care, chronic infected non-healing ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, bed sores, and impetigo. It works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes. Burcut Ointment is effective against bacteria (Gram-positive and Gram-negative, including antibiotic-resistant and antiseptic-resistant strains), fungi, and viruses. Burcut Ointment contains Metronidazole, Povidone-Iodine and Sucralfate. Povidone iodine works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes. Metronidazole inhibits protein synthesis, leading to cell death and ultimately killing the bacteria. Sucralfate helps form a protective barrier over the wound, promoting healing. Collectively, Burcut Ointment helps treat cuts, wounds and infections.

Do not use Burcut Ointment if you are allergic to povidone-iodine. Let your doctor know if you have an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism), any other thyroid diseases, or liver and kidney problems since using Burcut Ointment can cause iodine absorption into the body. Using Burcut Ointment during breastfeeding may increase the iodine levels in breast milk, which can cause hypothyroidism in breastfed infants. Burcut Ointment can cause excessive iodine absorption with its vaginal use; hence, avoid douching (washing) with Burcut Ointment and iodine-containing tampons during breastfeeding. Please consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to conceive before using the Burcut Ointment since it can affect the unborn baby.
