Zerolatum Plus provides a thin film of oil on the skin’s surface, which reduces water loss from the skin and therefore prevents it from drying out too quickly.
• It is used in the treatment of eczemas at risk of infection.
• Do not use the bath oil if you are allergic to Wool Alcohols or any of the other ingredients.
• Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant (or might become pregnant) or are breastfeeding.
• If the bath oil is accidentally swallowed: Contact your nearest hospital casualty department or doctor immediately. Take the bottle with you to show the doctor. If accidentally spilt in the eye, rinse with clean water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists seek medical advice.
• The bath oil may occasionally cause a mild rash or skin irritation. If this occurs, stop using the bath oil and consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice. They will also give advice on other queries you may have about the bath oil.
