SKU GME1337Antifungal
Product Introduction
Benzoic Acid 6% w/w + Salicylic Acid 3% w/w is an antifungal and keratolytic ointment for selected superficial fungal skin infections with scaling.
How to use
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry affected skin. Keep away from eyes, mucous membranes, broken skin and extensive raw areas. Do not cover tightly or apply over large body areas.
How it works
Benzoic acid inhibits fungal growth in an acidic environment. Salicylic acid loosens the thickened outer skin layer, helping remove scale.
Side effects
Stinging, burning, redness and irritation may occur. Extensive salicylic-acid exposure can cause systemic toxicity, especially in young children.
Important information
Avoid use on damaged skin or over large areas, particularly with kidney impairment. A thickened nail or scalp infection usually requires a different treatment.
Uses
- Selected superficial fungal skin infections with scaling.
Benefits
Combining fungal-growth inhibition with removal of excess scale can help an appropriate local infection respond.
What is the role of the two acids?
Benzoic acid suppresses fungal growth, while salicylic acid loosens thickened skin and scale. Their functions complement each other in a suitable superficial infection.
Can it be used on a large raw rash?
No. Irritation and salicylate absorption are greater on damaged or extensive skin.
Does it contain a corticosteroid?
The two named ingredients are an antifungal acid and a keratolytic, not a corticosteroid.
Can it treat fungal nails by itself?
Penetration into thick infected nails is usually inadequate, so a separate treatment plan is needed.
