Povidone Iodine (5%)
Active composition
Povidone Iodine releases iodine, which disrupts microbial protein and nucleic acid synthesis, leading to cell death.
Medical applications
Zylo-P Ointment contains 5% Povidone Iodine, an effective broad-spectrum antiseptic agent used for the prevention and treatment of infections in minor cuts, wounds, burns, and abrasions. Povidone Iodine acts by releasing free iodine, which rapidly penetrates microbial cell walls, leading to the disruption of protein and nucleic acid structure and function, thereby exerting bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal, and protozoicidal effects. Zylo-P Ointment is indicated for topical application on skin injuries to reduce microbial contamination and promote a sterile environment conducive to healing. It is particularly useful in preventing secondary infections in superficial wounds and skin infections. The ointment should be applied in a thin layer to the affected area once or twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Caution is advised in patients with known iodine hypersensitivity or thyroid disorders. Prolonged use should be avoided to prevent potential irritation or systemic iodine absorption. Zylo-P Ointment is contraindicated in deep puncture wounds, severe burns, or large areas of damaged skin without medical supervision. Proper wound care and hygiene should be maintained alongside the use of this antiseptic ointment to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes.
