Dosage Regimen

The method of application and dosage regimen for a specific drug depend on its form of release and other factors. The optimal dosage regimen is determined by the doctor. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the compliance of the dosage form of a specific drug with the indications for use and dosage regimen.

For external use only. Apply the ointment 2 to 6 times daily to the affected skin areas. Adjust the frequency of application based on the severity of symptoms and the degree of exudation.

Use a sufficient amount to cover the entire affected area with a thin, uniform layer. The quantity applied is directly proportional to the extent of the lesion.

Prior to application, gently cleanse and thoroughly dry the affected skin area. This ensures optimal contact and efficacy of the preparation.

The ointment can be applied under occlusive dressings, such as a gauze bandage. For diaper dermatitis, apply during each diaper change on clean, dry skin.

For the management of chronic ulcers and pressure sores, apply the ointment after appropriate wound cleansing and debridement, if necessary.

Continue treatment until the acute inflammatory phenomena subside and the skin integrity is restored. Discontinue use if signs of irritation or hypersensitivity appear.

Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Do not apply to heavily exuding or grossly infected wounds without concurrent antimicrobial therapy.
