What are the active ingredients in Unguentum M Cream and how do they work?

Unguentum M Cream contains a mixture of liquid and white soft paraffin. The paraffin oils form a barrier on the surface of the skin that helps to prevent water from evaporating and also protects the skin. This helps to keep the skin moisturized and reduces redness, scaling, and itching associated with dry skin conditions, such as eczema and dermatitis. The cream can also be used to protect raw or rubbed areas of skin, like nappy rash.

Can Unguentum M Cream be used with topical corticosteroids?

Yes, Unguentum M Cream can be used alternately with topical corticosteroids when these are being gradually withdrawn. Your doctor may also ask you to dilute topical steroids with Unguentum M Cream. However, you should always follow the instructions given by your doctor.

Can Unguentum M Cream be applied to any part of the body?

Yes, Unguentum M Cream can be applied to any part of the body, including the face. You should avoid getting it in your eyes. Smooth the cream into the skin in the direction of hair growth.

How often can I use Unguentum M Cream?

You can apply Unguentum M Cream as often as needed to relieve dry skin. It should be applied frequently, particularly before or after washing, to stop the skin from drying out. If your doctor has instructed you to use Unguentum M Cream in combination with other medications, be sure to follow their instructions.
