How it Works
Povinon S Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Povidone Iodine and Sucralfate that treat wound infection. Povidone Iodine is an anti-ulcerant which forms a coating over the affected skin surface. This creates a physical barrier that protects the skin from further injury, allowing it to heal. Sucralfate is an antiseptic applied on skin which is infected or is likely to get infected. It slowly releases iodine which kills or prevents the growth of infectious microorganisms.
