A non-adherent wound dressing (1) comprising a film (2) which contains depressions (3) over the wound contacting area of the dressing is described. The depressions contain a viscous pharmaceutical composition which is suitable for topical application to the skin and which preferably contains from 1 to 12.5% by weight of antibacterial agent. In a preferred form of the dressing each depression has an aperture at its apex whereby transmission of wound exudate through the dressing to an absorbent placed on the non-wound contacting surface of the dressing is permitted while at the same time the pharmaceutical composition may release it medicament to the environment of the wound.
