About Xtracare Ointment

Xtracare Ointment belongs to the class of medications called antiseptics and antimicrobial agents used to treat and prevent infections in wounds, cuts, and burns. A wound is a condition in which your skin gets hurt or broken, causing skin or tissue damage and leading to bleeding or infections.

Xtracare Ointment contains povidone-iodine, ornidazole, and sucralfate. Povidone iodine and Ornidazole inhibit the growth of infection-causing organisms. Sucralfate helps form a protective barrier over the wound to promote healing, thus helping to treat wound infections.

Xtracare Ointment is for external use only. Xtracare Ointment may cause common side effects like burning, itching, irritation, and dry skin. These side effects gradually resolve during the treatment and do not require medical attention. However, please consult the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in Xtracare Ointment. Also, let your doctor know if you have an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism), thyroid disease, liver problems, or kidney problems. Before using $ name, discuss with your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Description

The Xtracare ointment is a potent topical treatment for minor wounds, cuts, and burns. Its compelling combination of three active constituents —povidone iodine, sucralfate and ornidazole—contributes to swift healing and helps ward off infections.

Povidone iodine embodies a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent that inhibits bacterial growth by releasing iodine and demonstrating robust antioxidant properties. It operates through protein denaturation and timely cell death of microorganisms. On the other hand, ornidazole works against specific protozoa and anaerobic bacteria by damaging their essential DNA and other crucial biomolecules, thus curbing their proliferation. Lastly, sucralfate contributes to wound healing by promoting new tissue formation and growth, thereby aiding in repairing damaged tissues and preventing infections. The collective action of these ingredients in Xtracare ointment helps promote rapid healing and prevents infection from minor skin injuries.
