PRESCRIPTION INFORMATION:
Unguentum M is an ambiphilic cream topical preparation with emollient properties, which contains the high lipid content of an ointment but also has the water miscible characteristics of a cream.
USES:
Unguentum M has emollient properties and is recommended for the symptomatic treatment of dermatitis, nappy rash, ichthyosis, eczema, protection of raw and abraded skin areas, pruritus and related skin conditions where dry, scaly skin is a problem, and as a pre-bathing emollient for dry/eczematous skin, to alleviate drying effects. It is also used as a diluent for various topical corticosteroid formulations where a lower strength preparation is required and as a general base for extemporaneous dispensing.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
A thin application of cream should be gently massaged into the skin three times daily or at appropriate intervals. When used as a protective cream Unguentum M should be applied sparingly to the affected areas of the skin before, or immediately after, exposure to a potentially harmful factor.
