What is Vita-Merfen ointment and when is it used?Vita-Merfen ointment contains two disinfecting substances, chlorhexidine digluconate and benzoxonium chloride, which act quickly on the microorganisms responsible for the infection, as well as retinol palmitate (vitamin A). The combination of disinfecting substances with retinol palmitate for the treatment of small wounds promotes wound healing and at the same time prevents secondary infection. Vita-Merfen ointment is suitable for the treatment of all types of small wounds (scratches, abrasions, cuts), cracks, tears and minor burns (1st degree).What should be taken into account?Large, heavily contaminated or deep wounds, e.g. bites or puncture wounds, must be treated by a doctor (risk of tetanus and other infections). If the size of the injury does not decrease after a while, or if the wound does not heal after 10-14 days, a doctor should also be consulted. This is also recommended if the edge of the wound is very red, if it suddenly swells, if severe pain occurs or if the injury leads to fever (risk of blood poisoning).When should Vita-Merfen ointment not be used?You must not use Vita-Merfen ointment if you are allergic to chlorhexidine digluconate, benzoxonium chloride or any other quaternary ammonium compound, vitamin A or its derivatives or to any of the excipients in this preparation (see “What does Vita-Merfen ointment contain?”).When should caution be exercised when using Vita-Merfen ointment?Vita-Merfen is intended for external use only.
