Product Introduction

Metrogyl-P 2% Ointment is a dual-action formulation combining an antibiotic (Metronidazole) and an antiseptic (Povidone Iodine). It is applied externally to treat skin infections and prevent wound contamination.

The ointment helps control infection by eliminating bacteria and other harmful microbes and promotes healing by keeping the wound clean. It should be applied only to the affected area with clean hands, following your doctor’s guidance. Avoid using it on sensitive areas such as eyes, mouth, or broken mucosal surfaces.

How It Works

Metrogyl-P 2% Ointment combines two active ingredients:

• Metronidazole: An antibiotic that destroys infection-causing organisms by damaging their DNA.

• Povidone Iodine: An antiseptic that slowly releases iodine to kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses on the skin.

Together, they provide effective wound protection and healing.
