About EV Dine OZ Cream

EV Dine OZ Cream belongs to the class of medications called 'antiseptic and disinfectant' primarily used to treat and prevent skin infections in minor burns, lacerations (deep cuts in the skin), cuts, and abrasions (the first layer of skin is scraped off). It also helps to treat infections of the lining of the mouth and throat, such as gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and mouth ulcers. EV Dine OZ Cream is also used in infection control during insertion and care of urinary catheters, circumcision (removal of the foreskin from the human penis), suture removal and dressing changes. 

EV Dine OZ Cream is a combination drug containing Povidone-Iodine and Ornidazole. Povidone Iodine works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes. As a small molecule, iodine in EV Dine OZ Cream can easily penetrate microorganisms and oxidizes essential proteins, nucleotides, and fatty acids, leading to cell death. Ornidazole inhibits protein synthesis and leads to cell death, thereby killing the bacteria. Collectively, both treat cuts, wounds and infections.

EV Dine OZ Cream is for external use only. EV Dine OZ Cream has common side effects, as every medicine does. These include local swelling, itchiness, redness, small blisters, and irritation at the application site. These side effects gradually resolve during the treatment and do not require medical attention.

Brief your medical history to the doctor if you are allergic to iodine or povidone. Let your doctor know if you have an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism) or thyroid diseases, liver, and kidney problems. Please tell your doctor if you are undergoing lithium therapy or radioactive iodine treatment. EV Dine OZ Cream should not be used before or after radioiodine scintigraphy or radioiodine treatment of thyroid carcinoma. Using EV Dine OZ Cream during breastfeeding may increase the iodine levels in the breastmilk, which can cause hypothyroidism in breastfed infants. EV Dine OZ Cream can cause excessive iodine absorption with its vaginal use; hence avoid douching (washing) with EV Dine OZ Cream and iodine-containing tampons during breastfeeding. Please consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to conceive before using EV Dine OZ Cream since it can affect the unborn baby.
