Description
This medication is a topical antiseptic. It is used to provide antisepsis of skin lesions that are infected or at risk of infection.
Posology
How to use this medication The solution should not be applied to mucous membranes (mouth, vagina...) due to the presence of alcohol. The solution is ready to use and should not be rinsed.
Usual dosage:
1 application or 1 wet dressing or 1 local bath, 2 or 3 times a day. Our recommendations Simple washing with soap and water eliminates the majority of germs; it should be followed by careful rinsing because soap can inactivate some antiseptics. All antiseptics can be contaminated with germs: once opened, the bottle should not be stored for too long.
Counterindication

- on mucous membranes,
- for antisepsis of the skin before a puncture,
- to disinfect medical-surgical equipment (see Caution).
Caution:
Avoid prolonged use of this medication, especially in children, on extensive or deeply injured surfaces without the advice of your physician: risk of passage of the medication into the bloodstream. This antiseptic is not suitable for disinfecting scissors, razors and other potentially contaminating objects. Similarly, it should not be used to disinfect the skin before a puncture.
