Balneum Plus Antipruritic Bath Oil 500ml

Frequency and duration of the application should be adjusted according to the type and severity of the condition, adults should use the bath oil frequently (at least 3 times per week) whilst neonates and infants should be treated daily.

Dosage

The following quantities are recommended: (If the skin requires considerable moisturising, 2-3 times these quantities can be used)

Adults (including the elderly)

For full bath (~100L) 20ml

For partial bath (~5L) 2.5ml

Neonates and children

For bath (~25L) 5ml

For neonates and children daily application is recommended.

Method of administration

A partial bath may be required when condition is localised e.g. the arm.

Balneum Plus can also be used in the shower. In this case the preparation should first be evenly applied over the body without dilution. Subsequently the excess is removed under the shower. Soap, which would remove the desired oil film on the skin, should not be used.

Excessive rinsing with water after the bath counteracts the therapeutic action of Balneum Plus.

After a bath or shower the skin should only be lightly dabbed with a towel. Vigorous wiping and rubbing decreases the therapeutic effect.
