About Cadomer Ointment

Cadomer Ointment is a topical antimicrobial preparation primarily used to manage chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure sores, and infected surgical or traumatic wounds. It contains Cadexomer iodine, which plays a key role in cleansing the wound while reducing the bacterial load, thus supporting the natural healing process.

The ointment works by absorbing excess wound exudates, removing dead tissue, and creating a moist environment that encourages tissue regeneration. It also has bactericidal properties, which help prevent and control infections.

Use Cadomer Ointment strictly under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Some individuals may experience mild side effects like redness, irritation, slight pain, or swelling at the site of application. These are usually temporary and resolve on their own. If these reactions worsen or persist, medical attention is advised.

The product should not be used by individuals who are allergic to iodine or any of its ingredients. It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women as iodine can pass through the placenta or into breast milk. Additionally, this ointment is not suitable for children under 12 years of age. Overuse or application beyond the prescribed duration should be avoided to prevent complications.

Possible Side Effects

Mild irritation or burning sensation
Localized swelling or redness
Temporary pain at the application site

Uses of Cadomer Ointment
Cadomer Ointment is designed to treat and support healing in various chronic and infected wounds, such as:

Leg ulcers: Helps decrease bacterial growth and promotes a healthy environment for faster wound closure.
Diabetic foot ulcers: Aids in controlling infections, reducing odor, and enhancing granulation tissue development.
Pressure sores: Useful for treating bedsores by absorbing excess fluid, minimizing bacterial growth, and maintaining a moist wound surface.
Post-surgical or traumatic infected wounds: Encourages drainage, removes debris, and promotes tissue repair.

Directions for Use

Follow the dosage and duration recommended by your doctor.

Therapeutic Benefits
Cadomer Ointment, with Cadexomer iodine, combines wound cleansing with infection control. It absorbs pus and excess fluids, removes debris, and forms a moist gel-like layer over the wound. This environment supports natural healing while reducing bacterial contamination.

Mechanism of Action
Cadexomer iodine gradually releases iodine at the wound site. This action eliminates bacteria, decreases infection risk, and promotes wound debridement while keeping the skin hydrated, speeding up recovery in chronic wounds.

Storage Instructions

Store in a cool, dry area away from sunlight.
Keep at temperatures between 10°C to 25°C or up to 30°C.
Ensure it is out of reach of children.

Precautions and Warnings
People with thyroid-related conditions such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Grave’s disease, or non-toxic nodular goitre should avoid using this ointment unless prescribed. Inform your doctor about any underlying health problems or ongoing medications before starting treatment.
