Povistop Ointment is a combination of three medicines: Ornidazole, Povidone Iodine and Sucralfate. Ornidazole is an antibiotic. It kills the bacteria and other microorganisms that cause infections by damaging the DNA. Povidone Iodine is an antiseptic. It slowly releases iodine which kills or prevents the growth of infectious microorganisms. Sucralfate is a protectant which covers the damaged tissue and protects it against injury to facilitate healing.
