Autolyse Ointment

AUTOLYSE OINTMENT is a topical formulation classified as a debridement agent, specifically designed to aid in the removal of necrotic tissue from wounds, thus facilitating the healing process. This ointment is particularly beneficial for treating conditions such as ulcers, bedsores, surgical wounds and cysts by effectively thinning the pus present in these lesions. The active ingredients, Papain and Urea, work synergistically to enhance moisture retention in the skin while dissolving keratin, a protein that accumulates on the skin's surface. By promoting the shedding of dead skin cells, AUTOLYSE OINTMENT accelerates the healing process and provides an emollient effect that softens the skin. It is crucial to apply this ointment exactly as prescribed to avoid potential side effects, which may include temporary irritation or burning sensations at the application site. If adverse reactions persist, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional. AUTOLYSE OINTMENT is contraindicated for individuals with known allergies to its components and should be used with caution in those with liver or kidney impairments or compromised blood circulation. Furthermore, this ointment is not suitable for use on open wounds or infections. It is advised against its use in children under two years of age. Proper application and adherence to medical advice will yield the best results.
