Indications & Dose:

Endogenous eczema (atopic dermatitis, neurodermatitis), contact eczema, dyshidrotic and other eczemas.

DOSE AND DIRECTIONS FOR USE

For external use only.

Appropriate to the skin condition is applied thinly once per day to the diseased areas of skin. In general, the duration of use should not exceed 12 weeks in adults and 4 weeks in children. The respective bases are of major importance to the therapeutic effect of the Advantan formulations.

• Cream

As a low-fat formulation with a high water content, Cream is particularly suitable for acute and weeping stages of eczema, for very greasy skin and for use on exposed or hairy parts of the body. If the skin dries out excessively under protracted use of Cream, a switch should be made to one of the formulations (Advantan ointment or fatty ointment).

• Ointment

Skin conditions which are neither weepingnor very dry require a base with balanced proportions of fat and water. Ointment makes the skin slightly greasy without retaining warmith and fluid. Of the three formulations, Ointment has the widest field of use.

• Fatty ointment

Very dry skin conditions and chronic stages of skin diseases require an anhydrous base. The occlusive effect of the fatty ointment base promotes the healing procedure

Contraindications:

Tuberculous or syphilitic processes in the area to be treated; virus diseases (e.g., hyrpes simplex, vaccinia, chickenpox, shingles).

Corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic in animals following dermal application. As these agents are absorbed percutaneously, teratogenicity following topical application cannot be excluded. Should not be used during pregnancy
