About Cipladine Ointment

Cipladine Ointment is used to treat and prevent common skin infections. It is indicated for minor burns, cuts, lacerations (deep cuts in the skin), and abrasions (where the first layer of skin is scraped off). Skin infections occur when bacteria, fungi, or other microorganisms invade the skin and affect the underlying tissues.

Cipladine Ointment contains povidone-iodine, which works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microorganisms. Iodine can easily penetrate these microorganisms and oxidise essential proteins, nucleotides, and fatty acids, leading to cell death. Cipladine Ointment is effective against bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa.

Cipladine Ointment is for external use only. Common side effects may include red, inflamed, or irritated skin, peeling, dryness, or discomfort at the application site. These side effects usually resolve during treatment and do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please seek medical help.

Before using Cipladine Ointment, tell your doctor if you are allergic to povidone-iodine or any of its ingredients. Do not use Cipladine Ointment if you have thyroid problems without medical advice, as it can affect thyroid function. Avoid using Cipladine Ointment before or after radioiodine scans or treatment for thyroid cancer. Tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, are taking lithium therapy, or are on other medications. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using Cipladine Ointment. Cipladine Ointment should be used in children only if recommended by a doctor.
