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