Before using Calmurid, please note…

  • Do not use this cream if in the past you have been affected by any of the ingredients in the product.
  • This cream might affect other medicines that you apply to your skin. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using other medicines in this way.
  • Avoid contact with the eyes, eyelids, lips and other mucous surfaces. Upon accidental contact, rinse the affected area with clean water.
 

How to use your Calmurid…

  • Calmurid Cream is for EXTERNAL USE ONLY. In the rare event that you accidentally swallow any of this product, seek medical advice.
  • First gently wash and dry the affected areas of your skin.
  • Apply a thick layer over the affected areas. Do not rub it in yet.
  • Leave it on your skin for 3 to 5 minutes, then rub it in gently.
  • Wipe off any excess cream with a tissue (do not wash it off)
  • The cream should be used in this way twice a day, or as advised by your doctor.
  • If you need to use Calmurid on your feet, soak them in water for 15 minutes and then dry them with a rough towel before use.
  • Do not worry if you forget to use your cream at the right time. When you remember, start using the product again as you did before.
  • How long you will have to use this product will depend on how quickly your condition improves. Always seek the advice of your doctor or pharmacist.
 

While you are using Calmurid

  • Like many medicines, this product may occasionally cause some unwanted side-effects.
  • PLEASE NOTE : this cream is acidic. It may cause stinging if applied to raw areas or cracks in the skin or the lips. Keep it away from other sensitive areas of your body.
    • If stinging occurs, wash the cream off with water.
    • Should stinging be a problem, you may find it helpful to apply the cream to moist skin rather than dry skin.
    • Or, you can mix it with an equal amount of Aqueous Cream BP (ask your pharmacist for this) for a week, after which it would be alright to use the cream on its own again, but you must consult your doctor or pharmacist first.
  • Please tell your doctor or pharmacist of any other effects you may experience that are not already mentioned in this leaflet.
