SPECIAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
For external use only.
Emulsifying wax (which contains sodium lauryl sulphate and cetostearyl
alcohol) may cause local skin reactions (e.g. stinging, burning,
itching, redness
and contact dermatitis), particularly in children with atopic eczema.
The package leaflet/label should include the following information:
Contains sodium lauryl sulfate which may cause local skin reactions
(e.g.
stinging and contact dermatitis).
The risk of fire should be considered when using large quantities of
any
paraffin-based emollient. Emulsifying ointment in contact with
dressings and
clothing is easily ignited by a naked flame. The risk is greater when
this
preparation is applied to large areas of the body and clothing or
dressings
become soaked with the emollient. Patients should be told to keep away
from
fire or flames and not to smoke when using this preparation.
This preparation may make skin and surfaces slippery – particular
care is
needed when bathing.
Instruct patients not to smoke or go near naked flames - risk of
severe burns.
