Frequently asked questions

Germact Ointment can be used as an antiseptic to treat or prevent infections in wounds such as ulcers, small burns or cuts, and other minor injuries. However, take special care if you are applying Germact Ointment on open large wounds or where the skin is broken, like burns. The reason being there may be a risk of excessive absorption of iodine in the blood, which may increase to toxic levels.
