Dosage Reference
Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Shake the can well for a few seconds before you use it. Clean the wound first, then point the nozzle towards it, keeping the can upright and about 10 cm away. Press the nozzle for a few seconds and spray an even layer of Cutaneous Spray over the wound.
Apply the spray continuously, without breaks, once or twice a day until the lesion has healed completely. Each time before you apply it again, clean the wound carefully with water or saline solution.
The powder in Cutaneous Spray tends to stay stuck to the wound (because of the exudate there) or to macerated skin. On dry, healthy skin it comes off freely. If you want to, or if it's necessary, cover the lesion with a plaster or bandage after spraying, depending on the size of the wound.
Side Effects
You may feel a short-lived irritation or burning sensation on the skin. It causes no lasting harm. Local allergic reactions can also happen, but they are rare. If you notice any unwanted effect, speak to a doctor or pharmacist.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Anyone who is known to be hypersensitive to any ingredient in Cutaneous Spray must not use it. Don't use the product for more than four weeks. If the skin doesn't heal completely, or if unwanted symptoms appear, see a physician. When spraying the upper part of the body, protect the face. Avoid breathing in the spray powder. If the powder is swallowed or inhaled by accident, consult a physician. The formulation contains silver ions, so the sprayed powder may darken when it is exposed to light. This does not affect how well the product works or its safety. Don't apply it together with liquid or solid disinfectants. Put the cap back on the can after each use. Pregnant women and infants should not use the product unless a physician recommends it. Cutaneous Spray is meant for small lesions only.
