mode of action:
How do the ingredients of the drug work?
Zinc oxide: Zinc oxide acts on the skin against pathogens and inflammation and promotes wound healing. In addition, the moisture is bound to the skin (e.g. in the case of weeping, damp skin areas in the body folds), which reduces further softening and the possible penetration of pathogens.
Urea: With urea, the skin is supplied with more moisture and can store it for longer. As a result, the upper horny layer softens and the skin becomes smoother and softer. The addition of urea also enables other active ingredients to penetrate from the skin's surface into the deeper layers, thus enhancing their effect.
Contraindications:
What speaks against an application?
- Hypersensitivity to the ingredients
- Skin infections
What about pregnancy and breastfeeding?
- Pregnancy: consult your doctor. Various considerations play a role in whether and how the drug can be used during pregnancy.
- Breast-feeding: consult your doctor or pharmacist. He will examine your particular starting position and advise you accordingly as to whether and how you can continue breastfeeding.
If you have been prescribed the drug despite a contraindication, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. The therapeutic benefit can be higher than the risk that the use entails in the event of a contraindication.
