Beladin 5% Ointment is used for managing minor wounds, cuts, abrasions, and burns, helping avoid infections and promoting faster healing. The ointment contains povidone-iodine (5%), which slowly releases iodine to penetrate microbial cell walls, disrupt protein synthesis, oxidise enzymes, and interfere with DNA replication, leading to cell death. It is also applied for skin disinfection before and after surgical procedures and effectively manages bacterial infections like impetigo, folliculitis, and furunculosis, as well as fungal infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm.
