Providine Ointment 15gm contains povidone-iodine (5%), which acts on the body as follows:

• Slow Release of Iodine: The povidone iodine in Providine Ointment 15gm slowly releases iodine upon application. This iodine subsequently penetrates the cell walls of microorganisms impacting their function.

• Disruption of Microbial Cell Function: Inside these cells, iodine interferes with protein synthesis, oxidises enzymes and membrane components, and disrupts DNA replication. This multi-faceted antimicrobial action leads to cell death, thus preventing the development of infections.

• Wide-Spectrum Antimicrobial Action: Povidone iodine's broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity effectively manages a wide array of pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa.
