Cipladine Ointment is used in the following scenarios:

• Preventing infections during urinary catheter insertion and maintenance

• Assisting in infection control during circumcision and suture removal

• Helping to manage oral infections, such as gingivitis and mouth ulcers

• Reducing germs on intravenous devices used for blood transfusions

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 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.

• Store Cipladine Ointment in a cool and dry place, ideally not exceeding 25°C.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and excess moisture.

• Keep it well out of the reach of children.

• If you have a skin infection, you should maintain proper hygiene. Use clean towels, and don't share personal items like combs or razors with others.

• Eating foods rich in vitamins A, C and E can support healthy skin. Include more fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds in your diet.
