Question

I'm dealing with an open wound on my foot and have been using CIPLADINE Ointment to stop any bacterial infections and pus. I'm really concerned and curious if this ointment will also help the wound itself heal. Can you advise?

CIPLADINE Ointment will help keep the wound free of bacterial infections and therefore help prevent complications, but it is not primarily a wound-healing ointment. You may need additional treatment (such as moisturizing and tissue-repairing ointments) to help heal the wound itself.
