Unguentine is used to treat and protect minor skin injuries including small cuts, scrapes, abrasions, and first-degree burns. It may also be used for general skin irritation and to help prevent infection in minor wounds.
The exact mechanism of action is not fully specified. As a topical protectant, it forms a barrier over the skin to shield minor wounds from external irritants and contamination while potentially providing a soothing effect to the affected area.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not use on deep puncture wounds, animal bites, or serious burns. If the wound shows signs of infection (increased pain, redness, swelling, or drainage), or if the condition persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional. Keep out of reach of children.
