Cipladine Ointment may cause the following side effects:

Red or inflamed skin

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Cipladine Ointment. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here's how you can manage some common side effects:

Dry skin: Applying a moisturiser can help combat dryness.
Red or inflamed skin: Avoid direct sunlight on the affected area to reduce inflammation.

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.

Caution is advised while applying Cipladine Ointment if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.
