What is Eumovate Eczema and Dermatitis Cream 0.05%?

Eumovate is used for the short-term treatment and control of patches of red, itchy skin caused by eczema and dermatitis. The cream stops the skin’s over-reaction to the triggers that cause skin flare-ups, such as eczema or dermatitis. The active ingredient is clobetasone butyrate, a topical corticosteroid to control skin inflammation. The cream base also has moisturising properties.

When can I use Eumovate Cream?

Eumovate cream contains a steroid that reduces inflammation and flare-ups of psoriasis or eczema, often associated with swelling, itching, redness and irritation.

What is eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis?

Eczema is a dry skin condition which makes skin feel itchy, dry and irritated. Dermatitis is a sort of inflammation triggered when the skin comes in contact with something irritable, like harsh additives or disinfectants. Psoriasis is characterised by flaky, red skin patches covered in silver scales, which may be sore and itchy. Flare-ups of eczema and psoriasis may involve:

• Dry skin
• Redness
• Itching
• Blisters
• Cracked skin
• Inflammation

Managing eczema and dermatitis

Skin specialist advice - Skin specialists often advise people with eczema or dermatitis to use emollient (moisturising) skin products, including creams and bath oils, to keep moisture in the skin. This can make your skin more resistant to flare-ups. Avoid using soap and heavily scented products.

If a rash comes back - Sometimes people with dermatitis find their rash soon comes back after treatment or never disappears completely. This is often because they are still in contact with their trigger, i.e. what causes the reaction.

Common triggers of eczema and dermatitis include:

• Jewellery, including earrings or studs (especially gold-plated earrings)
• Coins
• Watch buckles, metal straps or the metal back of a watch
• Metal studs or fastenings on jeans, bras or underwear.

All of these have a metal in them called nickel, which is a very common trigger. If you react badly to nickel, all of the triggers in the list could be a problem. So, if you’ve reacted badly to one of the common triggers, you’ll need to watch out for the other common triggers. 

 Other common triggers of eczema and dermatitis include:

• In the home: such as plasters, furniture polish, varnishes, rubber gloves or elastic in clothes
• In substances you use at work, such as glues, oils, lubricants or cement
• In the garden: certain plants and weeds, gardening gloves.

How to use Eumovate Cream

• Adults and children 12 years and over: Use the cream once or twice daily for up to 7 days.
• Wash and dry your hands.
• Squeeze out the correct amount of cream onto your index finger.
• Half a fingertip will cover a patch of skin the same size as the palm of your hand.
• Gently rub cream into the skin you are treating once or twice a day.
• Wash your hands again (unless it is your hands you are treating).

How much Eumovate Cream to use

• Squeeze out the cream along the top of your index finger
• Squeeze the cream halfway to your fingertip from the crease in your finger. This will cover a patch of skin the same size as the palm of your hand.
• Use the fingertip unit as a guide. For smaller areas, use a smaller amount. This cream is not meant to treat large areas.
• If you use too much of the cream by mistake, don’t worry – but try to keep to the fingertip unit.
• Half a fingertip will cover a patch of skin the same size as the palm of your hand.

What are Breathe Right Natural Nasal Strips?

Open Your Nose - 9/10 people said that they could breathe better instantly when using Breathe Right strips.

Drug-Free - Breathe Right strips are drug-free.

Improved Sleep Quality - Breathe Right strips improve sleep quality in 90 percent of snorers. Breathe Right nasal strips open the nose, allowing more natural breathing to help reduce snoring.

Undisturbed Rest - Breathe right strips are gentle on skin, easy to remove, and comfortable to wear.

What are the causes of nasal congestion?

Colds - When you have a cold, the lining of your nasal cavities swells with excess fluid, making it difficult to breathe.

Allergies - When allergens are present, your immune system responds by releasing chemicals that create inflammation in your nose. This can cause nasal congestion, sneezing, and a runny nose.

Deviated Septum - People who suffer from a deviated septum are generally all too familiar with breathing problems. The septum is the cartilage that separates the nostrils.

How do Breathe Right Natural Nasal Strips work?

Breathe Right nasal strips are made of flexible, spring-like bands that fit right above the flare of the nostrils. A sticky adhesive is used to lift the sides of the nose and open the nasal passages, making it easier to breathe for a more restful night of sleep.

How to use Breathe Right Natural Nasal Strips

• Before Applying - Wash and dry your nose thoroughly. Dirt, oils, moisturisers and makeup can weaken the adhesive.
• Place - Remove the protective liner and place the strip centred along the width of your nose. The tabs on the strip should rest right at the start of the flaring part of each nostril.
• Apply - Press and hold down the strip until the strip is secure on your nose.
• Remove - Wash your face with warm water and start to loosen the strip from each end, gently lifting the strip off your nose

What is Dermol Cream

Dermol Cream is an antimicrobial and emollient (softening and moisturising) treatment for application to dry or problem skin.

It is for use in two ways:

• as a leave-on application
• as a soap substitute.

It helps treat and prevent dry and itchy (pruritic) skin conditions, especially eczema and dermatitis.

All age groups can use Dermol Cream, including babies.

There are two types of active ingredients in this product:

Benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine dihydrochloride are antimicrobials that help to:

• combat bacteria present on your skin that can make eczema worse
• prevent infection caused by scratching itchy skin.

Liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate are emollients that help to:

• soften, moisturise and protect your skin by trapping moisture in the skin and restoring the normal protective function of the skin
• prevent the skin-drying and irritant effects that can be caused by washing and bathing and by the soaps, foaming additives and fragrances used in ordinary skin cleansing products.

This product can be used in addition to any other emollients or treatments your doctor or pharmacist may have given or prescribed for you to treat your dry skin condition.

How to use Dermol Cream

Use it only on the skin. For maximum benefit, you should use it on a regular basis and as often as required.

Before using the cream, turn the top of the pump dispenser anti-clockwise to unlock it. After unlocking, you will need to press down the pump dispenser several times to prime the pump before any product is dispensed.

The same instructions apply for all age groups:

For use as a leave-on application:

• Apply Dermol Cream to the affected areas.
• Gently smooth into the skin.
• If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub the skin vigorously.
• Reapply as often as required.
• If you are applying another treatment to the same areas of skin as Dermol Cream, try to avoid mixing the two products. This can be achieved by applying the treatments alternately, leaving sufficient time to allow the previous application to soak in.

For use as a soap substitute

• Use Dermol Cream to wash with instead of your ordinary soap or shower gel. It will not foam or lather like ordinary cosmetic products.
• After washing, bathing or showering, pat the skin dry with a soft towel (avoid rubbing as this can make dry skin conditions worse).

Silicon is the second most abundant element on Earth, after oxygen. It is found in nature as silicon dioxide and in the hydrated or aqueous form as silicic acid.

Gastrointestinal disorders are usually caused by irritants and by harmful and toxic substances and pathogens. When the gastrointestinal tract is disturbed by such toxic substances and pathogens, it cannot function normally, which may lead to physical discomfort.

The advantage of Silicolgel exists in silicic acid's large and highly reactive surface. When taken internally, it forms a protective and soothing coating over the lining of the stomach and intestines.

How to take Silicol Gel

Take Silicolgel at least 1 hour before or after the intake of medicines.

Take one tablespoonful (15 ml) of Silicolgel thrice daily, preferably before meals.

Silicolgel can be taken either undiluted or diluted with water. After acute symptoms ease, treatment with Silicolgel can continue for another few days.

If the symptoms have not reduced after three days, consult a medical doctor.

With diarrhoea, it is necessary to replace lost fluids.

What does Silicol Gel contain

3.5 g Silicon Dioxide in 100 ml Silicic Acid gel.

Preservatives: Sorbic Acid (E 200), Sodium Benzoate (E 211).
