WARNINGS

The product is for external use only and should not be used for prolonged treatments. The use, especially prolonged, of products for topical use can give rise to sensitization phenomena, in which case it is necessary to interrupt the treatment and evaluate the need for suitable therapy. Accidental ingestion or inhalation of some disinfectants can have serious, sometimes fatal, consequences. Avoid contact with eyes. The medicine leaves stains on clothing that are difficult to remove. The container of this medicine is made of latex rubber. May cause serious allergic reactions.

INTERACTIONS

Avoid the simultaneous use of other antiseptics and detergents.

SIDE EFFECTS

In some cases, intolerance (burning or irritation) may occur, however without consequences and which does not require modification of the treatment. For repeated application or following occlusive dressing, eczematous skin reactions may occur. The solution can give rise to photosensitization phenomena. Reporting of suspected adverse reactions. Reporting suspected adverse reactions that occur after authorization of the medicine is important, as it allows continuous monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicine. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system at: https://www.aifa.gov.it/content/segnalazioni-reazioni-avverse.

OVERDOSE

Based on experimental studies conducted on animals, presumably not even the ingestion of 600 ml (twelve 50 ml bottles) would have any significant toxic effects. However, in the event of accidental ingestion of the preparation, as a specific antidote is not known, perform gastric lavage as an immediate intervention; if a certain period of time has passed, administer activated charcoal.

PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING

Pregnancy: Eosin, chloroxylenol and propylene glycol are not expected to cause any effects during pregnancy, as systemic exposure to eosin, chloroxylenol and propylene glycol is negligible. Neomercurochrome can be used during pregnancy.

EFFECTS ON DRIVING ABILITY
