4.2 Posology and method of administration
For transdermal use
Osmanil should be applied to non-irritated and non-irradiated skin on
a flat surface of the torso or upper
arm. In young children, the upper back is the preferred location to
apply the patch, to minimise the
potential of the child removing the patch. A non-hairy area should be
selected. If this is not possible, hair
at the application site should be clipped (not shaved) prior to
application. If the site of Osmanil
application requires to be cleansed prior to application of the patch,
this should be done with water.
Soaps, oils, lotions or any other agent that might irritate the skin
or alter its characteristics should not be
used. The skin should be completely dry before the patch is applied.
Patches should be inspected prior to
use. Patches that are cut, divided, or damaged in any way should not
be used.
The Osmanil patch should be removed from the protective pouch by first
folding the notch (located close
to the tip of the arrow on the pouch label) and then carefully tearing
the pouch material. If scissors are
used to open the pouch, this should be done close to the sealed edge
so as not to damage the patch inside.
Osmanil should be appli
