4    CLINICAL PARTICULARS

4.1    Therapeutic indications

A long-lasting, highly emollient and protective hydrating base for regular first-line treatment and prophylaxis of dry or chapped skin conditions which may also be pruritic (itchy) or inflamed. Doublebase Dayleve Gel may also be used as an adjunct to other topical treatments.

4.2    Posology and method of administration

For external use only.

Before using the 500 g bottle, turn the top of the pump dispenser anticlockwise to unlock it.

For adults, the elderly, infants and children.

Apply Doublebase Dayleve Gel to the affected areas morning and night, or as often as necessary.

•    For best results, use a few gentle strokes to smooth Doublebase Dayleve Gel across the skin in the same direction as hair growth. If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub vigorously.

•    Doublebase Dayleve Gel may also be applied before washing, showering or having a bath to prevent further drying of the skin.

If additional topical treatments are being used on the same skin areas, Doublebase Dayleve Gel should be applied between these applications.

4.8 Undesirable effects

Although Doublebase Dayleve Gel has been specially formulated for use on dry, problem or sensitive skin, local skin reactions can occur in rare cases. In this event, treatment should be discontinued.

4.9 Overdose

Not applicable.

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties

ATC Code: D02AX

The oily ingredients, isopropyl myristate and liquid paraffin, encourage rehydration and softening of dry skin by forming an occlusive barrier within the skin surface, thus reducing drying from evaporation of water that diffuses from the underlying layers.

5.2    Pharmacokinetic properties

The product is formulated to provide long-lasting skin hydration. Because Doublebase Dayleve Gel is designed to deliver the emollient ingredients into the stratum corneum when gently applied to areas of dry skin, it is relatively nongreasy despite its high oil content.

5.3    Preclinical safety data

No relevant information additional to that contained elsewhere in this SPC.
