Cadomer Ointment

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

• Clean the affected area thoroughly before applying the ointment.
• Gently apply a thin layer and massage lightly until absorbed.
• Wash hands before and after application unless treating the hands.
• Keep the ointment away from the eyes and mucous membranes.
• 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.

Lifestyle and Care Tips

• Maintain good personal hygiene and keep the wound clean and dry.
• Take warm baths using mild soaps and avoid harsh products.
• Avoid wearing tight clothing over the affected area.
• Do not scratch or irritate the wound site.
• Limit sugar and refined carbohydrate intake to promote healing.
• Avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages.
• Ensure your surroundings are clean to prevent reinfection.

Cadomer Ointment is a reliable choice for managing chronic and infected wounds, provided it is used correctly under professional supervision.
