Instructions for use for DERMATOP Basic ointment, 100 g

Instructions for use of the article Dermatop Basissalbe Product characteristics Dermatop Basissalbe is a corticoid-free ointment used for the care and treatment of stressed skin. Our skin fulfils a variety of tasks. It protects against mechanical, chemical and physical influences and plays an important role in the defence against pathogens. In order to be able to fulfil all these tasks, the skin consists of different layers. The hypodermis serves as an insulating layer and padding, while the dermis forms the supporting structure. The epidermis contains numerous cells and sensory organs. The corneal layer protects the skin from mechanical influences. Sebaceous gland and sweat secretions keep the skin supple and protect it from bacteria, viruses and fungi. Dermatop Basic Ointment helps stressed skin in need of care to fulfil its natural functions. It is recommended to use the ointment after skin diseases have subsided, especially when the use of strong-acting preparations such as corticoids is no longer necessary. The ointment can also be used for severely stressed skin after the use of chemicals or excessive sun exposure to restore its normal function. It is also suitable as a preventive measure for anticipated skin stress. Dermatop Basissalbe is a water-in-oil emulsion containing, among other things, white vaseline, purified water, glycerol monooleate, octyldodecanol, magnesium sulphate heptahydrate and edetic acid. The preparation should be stored at room temperature, not above 25 °C. Do not use the product after the expiry date. It is available in tubes of 50 g, 100 g and 4 x 120 g. Dermatop Basic Ointment is available without prescription at any pharmacy. Depending on your needs and skin type, the ointment should be applied 2 to 3 times a day to the areas of skin to be treated.
