Description
Overview of the medicine
Obstane-1-W-Cream is a specialized topical cream formulated for antiseptic and healing purposes, particularly for obstetric and gynecological conditions. It aids in the recovery of perineal tears, episiotomy wounds, and addresses minor skin irritations or infections in sensitive areas. Its unique formulation provides a soothing effect while promoting tissue regeneration.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Apply a thin layer of Obstane-1-W-Cream to the affected area 2 to 3 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Ensure the area is clean and dry before application.

Mechanism of Action
Obstane-1-W-Cream works by delivering its active ingredient, 'Obstane', which possesses broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi at the application site. Additionally, it contains components that stimulate collagen synthesis and promote epithelization, accelerating the natural wound healing process and reducing inflammation.
