Dosage. 10-15 g of ointment is applied to the skin once. The ointment is applied to pre-washed skin and rubbed into the skin. Initially, the ointment is applied to the palm of the hand, the wrist, and then to the rest of the body sequentially from top to bottom. Finally, the ointment is applied to the legs, feet, and between the toes. In children, the ointment is applied to the entire skin surface; in adolescents, the face and scalp are left un-smeared. In delicate skin areas (groin, genitals, mammary glands), as well as in cases of eczema (red and often wet non-infectious rash) or skin inflammation, careful application of the ointment is required. Hands should not be washed for 3 hours after applying the ointment. After each hand wash, the ointment should be re-rubbed onto the hands. The entire body should be washed only after 3 days. It is important that after each application of the ointment, clean underwear and clothing for the body and bed should be used. The ointment is applied to the skin 4 times over 2 weeks (at intervals of 3-4 days). An average of 60-90 g (2-3 tubes) of the preparation is used per course of treatment. Overdose. If a large amount of ointment is applied or accidentally swallowed, central nervous system excitation (convulsions) and/or urinary retention may occur. In the presence of the above-mentioned symptoms, the skin should be cleansed of the ointment and anticonvulsant agents should be used.

In case of signs of overdose, consult a doctor immediately. Bring the product packaging with you. Storage conditions. At room temperature (15°C-25°C). Keep out of reach of children!
