Active composition
Povidone Iodine releases iodine, which disrupts microbial protein and nucleic acid synthesis, leading to cell death.
Medical applications
Lupidine Ointment contains Povidone Iodine 5% w/w as its active ingredient, a broad-spectrum antiseptic agent effective against a wide range of pathogens including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. It is indicated for the prevention and treatment of minor wounds, cuts, abrasions, burns, and other superficial skin infections. The ointment formulation provides a protective barrier, maintaining a moist environment conducive to wound healing while delivering sustained antiseptic action.
Povidone Iodine acts by releasing free iodine, which penetrates microbial cell walls, disrupting protein and nucleic acid structure and function, leading to microbial death. Lupidine Ointment is suitable for topical application on intact and damaged skin but should be avoided in patients with known hypersensitivity to iodine or povidone iodine. It is contraindicated in large open wounds and should not be used in individuals with thyroid disorders without medical supervision due to potential iodine absorption.
Adverse effects are rare but may include local irritation, redness, or allergic reactions. For optimal results, the affected area should be cleaned before application, and the ointment applied as directed by a healthcare professional. Lupidine Ointment is a reliable antiseptic choice for effective wound management and infection control in clinical and home settings.
