Wosan Povidone-Iodine Ointment 20g
Wosan Ointment (commonly known as Wosan Cream) is a reliable broad-spectrum antiseptic produced by Jawa International Limited in Nigeria. Formulated with 5% Povidone-Iodine, it is designed to kill a wide range of germs, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, on the skin's surface.
What is Wosan Cream used for?
Wosan is primarily used for the treatment and prevention of infections in:
- Minor Cuts and Scrapes: Helps keep the wound clean for faster healing.
- Burns and Scalds: Provides a protective antiseptic layer over minor burn injuries.
- Grazes and Abrasions: Effective for common household and sports injuries.
- Skin Infections: Used to treat mycotic (fungal) and bacterial skin infections (pyodermas).
- Pre-operative Preparation: Used by healthcare professionals to prepare the skin before surgical procedures.
Key Benefits of Wosan Ointment

Precautions & Safety
- External Use Only: Do not ingest or use inside the body.
- Avoid Eyes: Rinse immediately with water if contact occurs.
