Metrogyl-P 2% Ointment

Product Introduction
Metrogyl-P 2% Ointment is a topical medication used for treating skin wounds and preventing infections. It helps in stopping the growth of harmful microorganisms that could infect the wound while promoting faster and healthier healing of the affected area.

This medicine is meant to be applied externally only, as per the instructions given by your doctor. Apply a thin layer to the cleaned and dried affected area using clean hands. If the ointment accidentally comes in contact with your eyes, mouth, nose, or private areas, rinse thoroughly with water. For best results, continue using it regularly for the full course prescribed by your doctor, even if symptoms start improving earlier. If there is no improvement or if the wound worsens, seek medical advice.

Some common side effects that may occur include mild itching, dryness, redness, or a burning feeling at the site of application. These are usually temporary and resolve on their own. However, if you experience swelling, severe rash, or difficulty breathing, contact your doctor immediately.

Before starting this ointment, inform your doctor about any ongoing treatments or allergies you may have. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only use it after consulting their healthcare provider. Avoid scratching or touching the wounded skin as it can slow down the recovery process.
