Instructions for use for BASODEXAN Grease cream, 100 g

Basodexan grease cream is a urea preparation for external use on the skin. It is used for the supportive treatment of fish scale disease (ichthyosis), skin dryness (xeroderma), thickening of the horny layer (hyperkeratosis) and other conditions of dry, rough skin. It is also suitable for the follow-up treatment of skin diseases that have largely subsided, especially for corticoid-free therapy in chronic skin diseases. Basodexan fat cream should be applied thinly to the affected skin area and gently massaged in. It should be applied twice a day unless the doctor has prescribed otherwise. The duration of treatment depends on the nature of the symptoms and is determined individually. The cream should not be used if you are hypersensitive to urea or any of the other ingredients. Caution should be exercised when using near the eyes and mucous membranes. Basodexan grease cream should not be used in acute skin inflammations with injured skin surface, impaired kidney function or application in the genital or anal area. Possible side effects are redness, itching, irritation of the skin and contact allergic reactions. If side effects occur, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Basodexan fat cream is available without a prescription and can be purchased in commercially available quantities. However, care should be taken to follow the dosage recommendations. Particular caution should be exercised in dosing infants, young children and the elderly.
