Xovidex 10% Ointment 15gm

Xovidex 10% Ointment is used for managing minor skin infections. It contains Povidone Iodine, a broad-spectrum antiseptic effective against bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. This ointment helps manage and combat infections in minor cuts, burns, lacerations, and abrasions by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. Its efficacy extends to pre- and post-surgical skin disinfection, ensuring comprehensive protection against potential infections. Designed for external application, Xovidex Ointment provides a reliable solution for maintaining skin integrity and promoting healing in everyday minor injuries.

• Povidone Iodine: Povidone Iodine serves as an antiseptic that helps in reducing the presence of harmful microorganisms on the skin. It gradually releases iodine, which interacts with bacterial, viral, and fungal cells, disrupting their structural integrity and assisting in their removal. This property supports wound hygiene and helps in maintaining a clean and protected environment for skin recovery. Povidone Iodine works by oxidising essential cellular components of microbes, which compromises their ability to survive. This mechanism helps in keeping wounds, cuts, and ulcers free from contamination while promoting better hygiene. The non-irritating nature of the formulation helps maintain skin comfort while supporting overall skin care.
   
• Other Ingredients: Refer to the product label.

• Manages Infections at Injury Site: Xovidex 10% Ointment supports wound care by creating a protective barrier over the affected area. The presence of povidone iodine helps reduce the microbial load on the skin surface. This action helps the skin maintain cleanliness and supports natural recovery.
   
• Helps Eliminate the Germs and Combats It from Spreading: Povidone iodine acts by disrupting the structure of microbial cells, leading to their neutralisation. This process helps reduce the number of harmful microorganisms present at the application site. It contributes to limiting the risk of the infection expanding to nearby tissues.
   
• Disinfects the Skin Before and After Surgical Procedures: Xovidex 10% Ointment is often used in surgical settings to clean the skin around incision areas. It helps lower the microbial presence, offering support for sterile surgical conditions. Its broad antimicrobial coverage plays a role in preparing the skin for minor or major medical procedures.
   
• Manages Skin Fungal Infections: The formulation has the ability to target fungal organisms that affect the skin, such as those seen in athlete’s foot. Povidone iodine interacts with fungal cell membranes and reduces their activity on the skin. This approach supports clearer and healthier skin texture over time.
   
• Provides Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Action Against Pathogens: Xovidex 10% Ointment is known to act against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Its mechanism involves the release of free iodine, which interferes with microbial metabolism. This makes it a suitable topical antiseptic for multiple skin-related microbial exposures.
   
• Supports Overall Skin Hygiene: Regular use on affected or exposed areas helps maintain a cleaner skin environment. The antimicrobial activity of povidone iodine assists in removing unwanted microorganisms from the skin’s surface. This contributes to better hygiene and supports healthy skin maintenance.
