About Povimed S Ointment

Povimed S Ointment belongs to the class of antiseptic and antibiotic drugs, primarily used to treat minor wounds and infections. It effectively treats lacerations (deep cuts in the skin), abrasions (where the top layer of skin is scraped off), diabetic foot ulcers, bed sores, impetigo (red sores on the face), boils or carbuncles, and radiation/chemotherapy ulcers. Povimed S Ointment is also used in infection control during post-surgical dressing, post-cosmetic and plastic surgery and post-episiotomy (surgical cut during childbirth) dressing.

Povimed S Ointment consists of three medicines, namely: Povidone Iodine, Tinidazole, and Sucralfate. Povidone Iodine is an ‘antiseptic’ that is used for skin disinfection before and after surgery. It works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes. Tinidazole belongs to the ‘antibiotic’ class of drugs. It is an antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent used to treat bacterial and parasitic infections. It works by damaging the DNA and stopping the growth of bacteria and parasites. Sucralfate belongs to the class of ‘protectants.’ It is used to treat various wounds, ulcers and inflammation. It works by forming a protective layer over the surface of the ulcer and promotes the healing.

Povimed S Ointment is for external use only. The common side effects of Povimed S Ointment include dry skin, itchiness, burning, redness and irritation at the application site. These side effects typically resolve gradually during treatment and do not require medical attention. However, consult the doctor if any of these side effects worsen or persist.

Medicinal Benefits

Povimed S Ointment is a dermatological combination used to treat and prevent skin infections in lacerations, abrasions, diabetic foot ulcers, bedsores, impetigo, boils or carbuncles, and radiation/chemotherapy ulcers. It consists of three medicines, namely: Povidone Iodine, Tinidazole, and Sucralfate. Povidone Iodine is an ‘antiseptic’ that is used for skin disinfection before and after surgery. It works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes. Tinidazole belongs to the ‘antibiotic’ class of drugs. It is an antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent that treats bacterial and parasitic infections. It works by damaging the DNA and stopping the growth of bacteria and parasites.

How Povimed S Ointment Works

Povimed S Ointment is a combination of three medicines: Povidone-iodine, Tinidazole, and Sucralfate. Povidone-iodine is an antiseptic that kills a wide range of infection-causing microbes. Tinidazole is an antibiotic and antiprotozoal agent that works by inhibiting the DNA replication of bacteria and parasites, thereby stopping their growth. Sucralfate acts as a protectant by forming a barrier over wounds or ulcers, promoting healing and protecting the area from further irritation. Together, these ingredients help disinfect the affected area, treat infections, and support the healing of wounds, ulcers, and inflamed skin.
