Overview
Generic
Uses & Benefits
Topical protectant for minor cuts, cracks and skin irritation; used as an adhesive adjunct to improve adherence of dressings/tapes; sometimes used for inhalation/steam for symptomatic relief in upper respiratory congestion (as directed).
How It Works
Resins form a protective film over skin and have mild antiseptic and astringent properties. The film can also increase tackiness, helping dressings adhere better and protecting irritated skin from moisture.
Directions for Use
For external use: apply a small amount to clean, dry skin using cotton/gauze; allow to dry before applying dressing/tape. Avoid applying on large open wounds or mucosa unless directed. If used for inhalation, follow physician/pharmacist directions carefully and avoid direct contact with face/eyes.
Highly flammable due to alcohol base; keep away from heat/flame. Avoid eyes, mouth and broken skin; do not use on large areas. Stop use and seek advice if rash, swelling or severe irritation occurs. Not recommended in infants for inhalation due to risk of airway irritation.
Drug Interactions
No significant systemic interactions expected; topical products/occlusive dressings may increase local irritation.
