Using Balmosa

Check that the seal is not broken before first use. Break seal by reversing the cap and pushing pointed end into the tube nozzle.

Squeeze cream onto the affected area and gently massage into the skin. Do not use with occlusive dressings. Wash hands immediately after use.

Use the cream as frequently as required.

If accidentally swallowed seek medical advice.

After Using Balmosa

Balmosa Cream may cause the skin to redden - this is normal. If a skin rash or itch develops, discontinue use. If the reaction persists after stopping use, seek medical advice.

The application of large amounts of Balmosa Cream may result in hypersensitivity reactions and worsening of asthma.

After use avoid exposing the treated skin to excessive light.
