Uses of Povimax Ointment

  • Promotes skin healing
  • Prevents infections
  • Aids in faster recovery

Benefits of Povimax Ointment

In Wound cleaning
Povimax kills the germs on and around a wound, lowering the chance of infection as it heals.
In Minor cuts and grazes
Povimax cleans a cut or graze and protects it from infection so it heals quickly and cleanly.
In Skin disinfection
Povimax disinfects the skin before an injection or a minor procedure, and cleans hands and skin when soap and water are not enough.

How Povimax Ointment works

Povidone Iodine kills germs on the skin and in a wound, reducing the chance of infection.

How to take Povimax Ointment

Clean the affected area, apply a thin layer of ointment, and cover with a sterile bandage. Repeat 2-3 times a day.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Povimax as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use, but swallowing an antiseptic is dangerous and needs immediate medical attention. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Povimax Ointment

Most side effects of Povimax are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Stinging on application
  • Redness
  • Dryness
  • Staining of skin or clothing

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Warnings and precautions

For external use only. Keep away from the eyes and the inside of the mouth and nose unless the product is made for that purpose. Do not use a strong antiseptic repeatedly on an open wound — clean running water and soap around the edges are usually better, and harsh antiseptics slow healing. See a doctor for a deep or dirty wound, an animal bite, a wound that will not stop bleeding, or one that becomes red, swollen, warm or discharges. Check that your tetanus cover is current after any dirty or penetrating wound.

Do not take Povimax if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for use on large burns or deep wounds without medical advice.

Interactions with other medicines

No significant interactions are expected.

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use. Keep out of the reach of children.

Quick tips for Povimax Ointment
