Uses and Indications:

MOTODINE Ointment is a topical formulation combining Povidone Iodine (5% w/w) and Metronidazole (1% w/w), designed for effective wound care and infection management. Its primary uses and indications include:

1. Wound Healing: Promotes healing of minor cuts, abrasions, and surgical wounds by providing a protective barrier and preventing infection.
2. Infection Prevention: The broad-spectrum antiseptic properties of Povidone Iodine help prevent infections in open wounds, while Metronidazole combats anaerobic bacteria.
3. Treatment of Skin Infections: Effective in managing various skin infections caused by bacteria, including infected ulcers and sores.

Mechanism of Action:

• Povidone Iodine (5%): Acts as a broad-spectrum antiseptic, disrupting the cell walls of bacteria and fungi. It releases iodine, which has antimicrobial properties that help prevent infection and promote healing.
• Metronidazole (1%): Targets anaerobic bacteria and protozoa by inhibiting DNA synthesis, effectively treating infections caused by these organisms and aiding in the healing process.
