Safety Information:

Safety is always a concern with medicines, so prioritizing storage and reading the directions should always be adhered to such as:

• Always keep the ointment away from reach of children as with any medicines, and store in a cool dark place.
• Never use the cream after the expiration date.
• The cream is a topical blend and is not to be taken internally.
• Keep the ointment away from close contact with eyes.
• Do not use inside the nasal passages.
• Do not use on deep cuts or severe burns.

If for any reason there is a cause for concern because of ingestion or eye contact, always seek medical attention as quickly as possible.

Always take care to read the ingredients information on the side of the packaging, if a person is sensitive to any of the ingredients then do not apply the lotion.

If a patient is uncertain of any adverse affects then a small amount should be tested on the elbow area prior to use, or seek the advice of a doctor who may be able to give further allergen information according to medical records.

There are no real age restrictions with the use of Sudocrem, although great care should be taken when applying the medication for the first time. Always test the ointment by applying a small amount to the elbow area and wait a few hours to see if any allergic reaction appears - this may be in the form of a slight rash and/or and irritation.

Dosage:

You can use Sudocrem quite liberally, although a thin layer is recommended. A good trick to use is to lightly rub a small amount onto the area that has been affected, the ointment will not be completely absorbed by the skin – you may apply another very thin layer over the top if the affected area needs an extra protective waterproof layer.

When baby needs a diaper change you may apply a thin layer after gentle washing baby's skin with warm water and cotton wool. Remember to change baby as and when the diaper becomes wet or soiled, as this will prevent diaper rash.

You can use the cream as you require on your face in the case of acne or eczema, but it is better to wait a good few hours between applications or as a doctor may recommend – whether this is more or less often, it will really depend on how severe the doctor thinks a condition is.
