Directions for Use of Cipladine Ointment 30gm

Apply Cipladine Ointment as follows:

Clean the area of application with soap and water first.
Pat dry the cleaned area with a clean towel.
Apply a thin layer of the ointment onto the affected area using your fingertip or a clean cotton swab.
The quantity required will depend on the size of the affected area.
Make sure to wash your hands after applying the ointment, to avoid spreading any infection.

Cipladine Ointment is applied topically.

Cipladine Ointment may cause the following side effects:

Red or inflamed skin
Peeling skin
Dry skin
Irritation at the site of application

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Cipladine Ointment. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here's how you can manage some common side effects:

Dry skin: Applying a moisturiser can help combat dryness.
Red or inflamed skin: Avoid direct sunlight on the affected area to reduce inflammation.

Cipladine Ointment comprises Povidone Iodine (5%) which acts on the body as follows:

Inhibits Growth of Microbes: Povidone Iodine disrupts the growth of infection-causing microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa.
Oxidises Essential Cell Components: Povidone Iodine has the ability to penetrate microbial cell walls. It then oxidises crucial components within these cells like proteins, nucleotides, and fatty acids.
Induces Cell Death: The oxidation process undertaken by Povidone Iodine ultimately leads to microbial cell death thereby managing skin infections.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while applying Cipladine Ointment if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you're breastfeeding, consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits before using Cipladine Ointment.
