The daily dose with multiple applications should not exceed 5 g of cream.

If necessary, bandages can be applied.

The frequency of application of the cream and the duration of treatment are determined individually by the doctor, depending on the clinical signs of skin damage. Application to large areas of skin should be avoided.

Contact with eyes, ears and mucous membranes should be avoided. If the cream gets into the eyes, they should be rinsed with water.

Bepanthen Plus is not recommended for the treatment of skin irritations with a low risk of infection (e.g. sunburn). In such cases, Bepanthen cream is recommended. Do not use in allergic skin diseases without infectious complications.

In rare cases, when using antiseptic agents containing chlorhexidine, mild to moderate symptoms of an allergic reaction may occur, which may affect the skin (e.g. itching, hives), face (e.g. angioedema), respiratory tract (e.g. asthma, wheezing or other breathing problems), gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system. If symptoms of a serious allergic reaction appear, it is recommended to immediately stop using Bepanthen Plus and consult a doctor to prevent their development.

Large, heavily contaminated and deep wounds, as well as wounds resulting from bites and punctures, require medical intervention (there is a risk of tetanus). If the wound size remains large within 10-14 days or the wound does not heal, the appropriateness of prescribing the drug should be reconsidered. This is also necessary if there is severe perifocal hyperemia, the wound swells, severe pain appears, purulent exudation increases or the injury is accompanied by fever (risk of sepsis). The drug should not be used to treat infected wounds with abundant purulent exudation.

If the infection persists or the condition worsens, you should consult a doctor.

Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding

Animal reproduction studies have not revealed any risk to the fetus. However, Bepanthen® Plus should not be used on large surfaces during pregnancy, as there are no data from controlled studies in pregnant women.
