Medi Creme is a dual action antiseptic cream designed as a first aid product for use on cuts, abrasions, mild sunburn, mild burns, and scalds. Medi Creme also provides relief for itching due to non-poisonous bites and stings. Medi Pulv is a dry, touch-free antiseptic powder designed to be applied at the wound site to stop infections while physically absorbing moisture to aid the healing process.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
