Uses

Dry skin
Eczema
Skin barrier repair
Itching due to dryness

Benefits

In Dry skin: Softvisc puts moisture back into dry skin and seals it in, relieving tightness, flaking and roughness.
In Eczema: Softvisc keeps eczema-prone skin soft and supple, which reduces flares and the need for steroid creams when used every day.
In Skin barrier repair: Softvisc restores the skin's natural protective layer so it holds water better and reacts less to irritants.
In Itching due to dryness: Softvisc relieves the itch that comes from dry skin by rehydrating it, which also protects the skin from scratch damage.

Side effects

Most side effects of Softvisc are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Mild stinging on broken skin
Greasy feel
Rarely
a rash

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

How to use

Wash your hands. Tilt your head back, pull the lower lid down to make a small pocket and squeeze one drop into it, then close the eye gently for a minute. Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, your fingers or any surface. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

How it works

D-panthenol holds water in the skin and restores the barrier that dry, damaged skin has lost.

Safety advice

AlcoholSAFE: No significant interaction with alcohol is expected.
PregnancySAFE: Generally considered safe in pregnancy. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to be.
Breast feedingSAFE: Generally considered safe while breastfeeding.
DrivingSAFE: Not expected to affect your ability to drive.
KidneySAFE: No dose change is usually needed in kidney disease.

Warnings & precautions

Apply generously and often — several times a day, and always within a few minutes of a bath while the skin is still damp. Some paraffin-based emollients are flammable when they soak into clothing and bedding. Keep away from open flames and cigarettes. Stop if the skin becomes more red, itchy or sore after use.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Softvisc as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine is not a realistic risk from a moisturiser used on the skin. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Quick tips

Use lukewarm water, a soap substitute and short baths.
Smooth it on in the direction the hair grows rather than rubbing it in hard.
Keep using it when the skin looks normal.
That is what prevents the next flare.
