Drez Powder belongs to the class of antiseptic and antibiotic drugs, primarily used to treat minor wounds and infections. It effectively treats lacerations (deep cut in the skin), abrasions (the first layer of skin is scraped off), diabetic foot ulcers, bedsores, impetigo (red sores on the face), boils or carbuncles and radiation/chemotherapy ulcers. Drez Powder is also used in infection control during post-surgical dressing, post-cosmetic and plastic surgery and post-episiotomy (surgical cut during childbirth) dressing.

Drez Powder consists of three medicines, namely: Povidone Iodine, Tinidazole, and Sucralfate. Povidone Iodine is an ‘antiseptic’ that is used for skin disinfection before and after surgery. It works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes. Tinidazole belongs to the ‘antibiotic’ class of drugs. It is an antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent that treats bacterial and parasitic infections. It works by damaging the DNA and stopping the growth of bacteria and parasites. Sucralfate belongs to the class of ‘protectants.’ It is used to treat various wounds, ulcers and inflammation. It works by forming a protective layer over the surface of ulcer and promotes the healing.

Drez Powder is for external use only. Drez Powder has common side effects as every medicine does. These include dry skin, itchiness, burning, redness and irritation at the application site. These side effects gradually resolve during the treatment and do not require medical attention.

Skin infection can occur when the skin is broken, cut or wounded. This skin infection allows the pathogenic microorganisms to enter and invade the tissues surrounding the wound. Infection of the wound can trigger the body's immune response, causing inflammation and tissue damage and eventually slows down the healing process.
