4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Oilatum Emollient is indicated in the treatment of contact dermatitis,
atopic dermatitis, senile pruritis, ichthyosis and
related dry skin conditions.
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 (20cm) bath of water. Soak for 10-20
minutes. Pat dry.
Infant Bath
Add 1/2-2 capfuls to a small bath of water. Apply gently over entire
body with a sponge. Pat dry.
Skin Cleansing
Rub a small amount into wet skin, rinse off 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.
