CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Oilatum Emollient is indicated in the treatment of contact dermatitis,
atopic
dermatitis, senile pruritus, ichthyosis and related dry skin
conditions. Oilatum
Emollient replaces oil and water and hydrates the keratin. Oilatum
Emollient is
particularly suitable for infant bathing. The preparation also
overcomes the problem
of cleansing the skin in conditions where the use of soaps, soap
substitutes and
colloid or oatmeal baths proves irritating.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Oilatum Emollient should always be used with water, either added to
the water or
applied to wet skin.
Adult bath:
Add 1-3 capfuls to an 8-inch bath of water, soak for 10-20 minutes.
Pat dry.
Infant bath:
Add ½-2 capfuls to a basin of water, Apply gently over entire body
with a sponge.
Pat dry.
Skin cleansing:
Rub a small amount of oil into wet skin. Rinse and pat dry.
Where conditions permit, and particularly in cases of extensive areas
of dry skin,
Oilatum Emollient should be used as a bath oil, ensuring complete
coverage by
immersion. In addition to the therapeutic benefits, this method of use
provides a
means of sedating tense patients, particularly relevant in cases of
acute pruritic
dermatoses where relaxation of tension appears to relieve symptoms.
The product is suitable for use in adults, children and the elderly.
