- 4.1 Therapeutic indications
Oilatum Emollient is indicated in the treatment of contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, senile pruritus, ichthyosis and related dry skin conditions. Oilatum Emollient replaces oil and water and hydrates the keratin. Oilatum Emollient is particularly suitable for infant bathing. The preparation also overcomes the problem of cleansing the skin in conditions where the use of soaps, soap substitutes and colloid or oatmeal baths proves irritating.4.2 Posology and method of administration
Oilatum Emollient should always be used with water, either added to the water or applied to wet skin.
\*\*Adult bath:\*\*
Add 1-3 capfuls to an 8-inch bath of water, soak for 10-20 minutes. Pat dry.
\*\*Infant bath:\*\*
Add ½-2 capfuls to a basin of water, Apply gently over entire body with a sponge. Pat dry.
\*\*Skin cleansing:\*\*
Rub a small amount of oil into wet skin. Rinse and pat dry.
Where conditions permit, and particularly in cases of extensive areas of dry skin, Oilatum Emollient should be used as a bath oil, ensuring complete coverage by immersion. In addition to the therapeutic benefits, this method of use provides a means of sedating tense patients, particularly relevant in cases of acute pruritic dermatoses where relaxation of tension appears to relieve symptoms.
The product is suitable for use in adults, children and the elderly.4.3 Contraindications
None4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
The patient should be advised to use care to avoid slipping in the bath. If a rash or skin irritation occurs, stop using the product and consult your doctor.
Oilatum Emollient should be used with caution in patients with a known sensitivity or allergy to light liquid paraffin (LLP) or to any of the excipients in the preparation.
Instruct patients not to smoke or go near naked flames – risk of severe burns. Fabric (clothing, bedding, dressings etc) that has been in contact with this product burns more easily and is a serious fire hazard. Washing clothing and bedding may reduce product build-up but not totally remove it. This medicinal product contains Lanolin which may cause local skin reactions (e.g. contact dermatitis).
This medicine contains fragrance with geraniol, linalool, coumarin, limonene, citronellol, eugenol, hydroxycitronellal and hexyl cinnamaldehyde which may cause allergic reactions.”4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
