Benefits:
- Antimicrobial Action: Cadexomer Iodine has potent antimicrobial properties, making it effective against a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It helps prevent and treat infections in wounds.
- Wound Healing: ADDEX OINTMENT promotes wound healing by creating an environment that supports tissue repair. It may help reduce inflammation and accelerate the formation of granulation tissue.
- Absorption of Exudate: The ointment helps manage excessive wound exudate (fluid) by forming a gel-like substance that absorbs and contains the exudate, promoting a moist wound environment.
- Debridement: Cadexomer Iodine may assist in the debridement process, removing dead tissue and debris from the wound, which is essential for optimal healing.
Side Effects:
- Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may be sensitive or allergic to iodine. If redness, itching, or swelling occurs, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
- Thyroid Function: Prolonged use of iodine-containing products may affect thyroid function, especially in individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions.
- Staining: Cadexomer Iodine may cause temporary staining of the skin and fabric. Avoid contact with clothing to prevent discoloration.
Usage Guidelines:
- Clean Wound: Clean the wound thoroughly before applying ADDEX OINTMENT.
- Application Frequency: Apply a thin layer of the ointment directly to the wound, usually once daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.
- Covering the Wound: In some cases, a secondary dressing may be applied over the ointment to protect the wound and prevent staining of clothes or bedding.
- Consult Healthcare Professional: If there is no improvement in the wound or if the condition worsens, consult a healthcare professional.
