Intake

The preparation is intended exclusively for superficial use.Thoroughly clean the affected area by carefully wiping it one at a time with at least two swabs soaked in the medicine.Make sure the wound is completely moistened.Before further measures, such as applying a wound dressing, an exposure time of at least 1 to 2 minutes must be allowed.The oral cavity can be rinsed if complete treatment is required.In this case, 20 ml of the solution should be applied for 20 seconds.To support the treatment of fungal infections of the skin between the toes, the medicine should be sprayed onto the affected areas in the morning and evening.Consistent adherence to these application instructions is essential to achieve the desired effect.

Patient information

Do not swallow the medicine in large quantities or allow it to enter the bloodstream!In order to prevent possible tissue damage, the preparation must not be introduced into the tissue under pressure.For wound cavities, drainage must be guaranteed at all times (e.g. drainage, tab).

Pregnancy

Pregnancy.Current experience with pregnant women does not indicate any risk.Breast-feeding: There are no sufficient animal experimental and clinical data on use during breast-feeding.Since octenidine dihydrochloride is not absorbed or only absorbed in very small amounts, it can be assumed that it does not pass into breast milk.Phenoxyethanol is quickly and practically completely absorbed and excreted almost quantitatively as an oxidation product via the kidneys.Accumulation in breast milk is therefore unlikely.

Notes

Do not use Octenisept solution together with PVP-iodine.No prescription is required for this product.
