How to use Epibact S Ointment

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and gently massage the ointment.

How Epibact S Ointment works

Epibact 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.

Quick tips

  • Epibact S Ointment is used to prevent and treat wound infection.
  • Clean the wound and skin around it as soon as it happens. Use cool boiled water or drinking-quality water.
  • Apply the medicine, do not put any bandage or dressing unless advised by the doctor.
  • Keep a close eye on the wound and seek medical advice if you think infection is developing.
