Notes

What should you consider?
- Avoid excessive UV radiation, e.g., in solariums or during extended sunbathing, because the skin reacts more sensitively during the use of the medicine.
- Solvents (e.g., propylene glycol, E 477) can cause skin irritation.
- There may be medicines with which interactions occur. Therefore, before treating with a new medicine, you should generally inform your doctor or pharmacist about any other medicines you are already using. This also applies to medicines that you buy yourself, only use occasionally, or whose use has been some time ago.
