Cariheal Ointment is a cream used for wound healing by removing dead tissues and skin. It prevents any possible infection by clearing up the area that can facilitate the growth of harmful organisms and delay healing.

Cariheal Ointment is used by a trained medical professional. The hands must be washed thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. You should not get it in the eyes, mouth, or nose. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas.

It is generally safe with little or no side effects. However it may cause application site reactions (burning, irritation, itching and redness) in some people. If you experience any other unusual side effects contact your doctor.

It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way it works but talk to your doctor before using it if you have used a similar medicine before and had an allergic reaction.

How to use Cariheal Ointment?

Before using this medicine, clean the wound with saline or another mild wound-cleansing solution recommended by the doctor. Apply the ointment directly to the wound, cover it with an appropriate dressing, and secure it into place. If possible, change the dressing 1 to 2 times per day.

Can I use other skin creams while using Cariheal Ointment?

It is advisable to avoid using other creams on the affected area while using this ointment without consulting the doctor. If your doctor prescribes other skin creams or ointments along with Cariheal Ointment, you should maintain an interval of at least 30 mins between the two medications.

What precautions should I take while using Cariheal Ointment?

This ointment is for topical use (for skin) only. Do not use it on open cuts and infected skin, and avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. It can make your skin more sensitive to the harmful effects of sunlight. So, use sunscreen and wear protective clothing while using Cariheal Ointment. Also do not use it on larger areas and for prolonged periods unless prescribed by the doctor.

Can I use hydrogen peroxide solution to clean the area before applying Cariheal Ointment?

It is advisable to avoid cleansing the wound with hydrogen peroxide solution before applying Cariheal Ointment as it may inactivate the papain present in it.

I can feel slight discomfort after using Cariheal Ointment on the wound area. Is this normal?

Yes, you may feel a slight burning sensation after applying Cariheal Ointment. This is due to the enzymatic action of papain present in the ointment. In such cases, more frequent dressing changes will reduce discomfort until the wound is healed.
