Cadexomer Iodine (500mg)
Active composition
Cadexomer Iodine releases iodine in a controlled manner, providing antiseptic action and promoting wound healing.
Medical applications
Idoxine Ointment contains Cadexomer Iodine 500mg as its active ingredient, formulated for topical application in the management of chronic wounds, burns, ulcers, and infected skin lesions. Cadexomer Iodine is a slow-release iodine complex that provides sustained antimicrobial activity by gradually releasing iodine over time, effectively reducing bacterial load and promoting a moist wound environment conducive to healing. This ointment is particularly beneficial in treating wounds with excessive exudate, as its absorptive properties help to remove pus, necrotic tissue, and debris, thereby facilitating autolytic debridement. Idoxine Ointment exhibits broad-spectrum efficacy against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains, as well as fungi. It is indicated for use in venous leg ulcers, pressure sores, diabetic foot ulcers, and minor burns. Application should be performed after wound cleansing, applying a thin layer directly to the affected area and covering with an appropriate dressing. Frequency of application depends on wound condition and exudate levels, typically once daily or as advised by a healthcare professional. Caution is advised in patients with iodine sensitivity or thyroid disorders. Idoxine Ointment should be used under medical supervision to ensure optimal wound management and to monitor for potential adverse effects.
How to use Idoxine Ointment This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and gently massage the ointment.
