WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET 

Please read this leaflet carefully before you start to use your
medicine. It answers some 
common questions about Crystacide Cream. 

Keep the leaflet with the medicine. You may need to read it again. 

The information in this leaflet only applies to Crystacide Cream. 

WHAT CRYSTACIDE CREAM IS USED FOR AND HOW IT WORKS 

Your medicine is called Crystacide Cream 1%. It is a smooth pearly
white cream. 

Crystacide cream is a first aid cream used for the treatment and
prevention of minor skin 
infections such as acne, cuts, scrapes, burns or school sores. 

The active ingredient of Crystacide cream is hydrogen peroxide in a
concentration of 1% 
w/w. 

Hydrogen peroxide is a potent agent against many types of bacteria,
and some fungi and 
viruses. It acts by destroying essential components of the cells of
these organisms. 

If you are concerned about any aspect of your treatment with
Crystacide cream, talk to your 
doctor or pharmacist. 

ADVICE BEFORE USING CRYSTACIDE CREAM 

Tell your pharmacist or doctor if you are sensitive to any of the
ingredients of Crystacide 
cream listed at the end of this leaflet. 

Crystacide cream should not be used in the presence of
iodine, permanganate and any other 
strong oxidising agents. 

HOW TO USE CRYSTACIDE CREAM 

Follow your pharmacist's or doctor's instructions. Always check the
label for directions on 
how to use your medicine. Your pharmacist or doctor will help if you
are not sure. 

CRYSTACIDE CREAM IS FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. 

The wound should be cleansed with water and a mild soap before
applying Crystacide 
cream. It should be applied 2-3 times a day, or
when needed, to the affected areas. If an 
occlusive dressing is used, one application a day may
be sufficient. A dry film may appear on 
the skin after application; this can easily be washed off with
water.
