About Povirobes Ointment 15 gm
Povirobes Ointment 15 gm belongs to the class of medications called ‘antiseptic and disinfectant‘ primarily used to treat and prevent skin infections in minor burns, lacerations (deep cut in the skin), cuts, and abrasions (the first layer of skin is scraped off). It also helps to treat infections of the lining of the mouth and throat, such as gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and mouth ulcers. Povirobes Ointment 15 gm is also used in infection control during insertion and care of urinary catheters, circumcision (removal of the foreskin from the human penis), suture removal and dressing changes.
Povirobes Ointment 15 gm is a combination drug containing Povidone-Iodine and Ornidazole. Povidone Iodine works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes. As a small molecule, iodine in Povirobes Ointment 15 gm can easily penetrate microorganisms and oxidizes essential proteins, nucleotides, and fatty acids, leading to cell death. Ornidazole inhibits protein synthesis and leads to cell death, thereby kills the bacteria. Collectively, both treat cuts, wounds and infections.
Povirobes Ointment 15 gm is available in the form of a solution, cream, ointment, external pad, swab, spray, surgical scrub, and eye drops. Povirobes Ointment 15 gm is for external use only.

Let your doctor know if you have an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism) or thyroid diseases, liver, and kidney problems. Please tell your doctor if you are undergoing any lithium therapy or treatment involving radioactive iodine. Povirobes Ointment 15 gm should not be used before or after radioiodine scintigraphy or radioiodine treatment of thyroid carcinoma. Using Povirobes Ointment 15 gm during breastfeeding may increase the iodine levels in the breastmilk, which can cause hypothyroidism in breastfed infants. Povirobes Ointment 15 gm can cause excessive iodine absorption with its vaginal use, hence avoid douching (washing) with Povirobes Ointment 15 gm and iodine-containing tampons during breastfeeding.
