Anthra Derm Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Anthralin
Anthra Derm Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Anthralin
INDICATIONS
An aid in the topical
treatment of quiescent
or chronic psoriasis
of the scalp. Treatment should be continued until the skin
is entirely clear, i.e., when there is nothing to feel with the fingers
and the texture is normal.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Generally, it is recommended that Dritho-ScalpÒ
be applied once a day or as directed by a physician. Anthralin is known
to be a potential skin
irritant. The irritant potential
of anthralin is directly
related to the strength being
used and each patient’s individual tolerance. Therefore, where the response
to anthralin treatment
has not previously been established, always commence treatment
for at least one week using 0.25% Dritho-ScalpÒ.
Increase to the 0.5% strength
only when directed by a physician.
Before initial use, the t.b.
membrane should be pierced
by inverting the white cap,
which should then be discarded. The black
applicator should then
be screwed firmly onto the tube. This applicator
includes a black cap which should always be replaced between treatments
(see illustration).
Apply as directed and remove by washing or showering. The optimal period
of contact will
vary according to the strength
used and the patient’s response to treatment. Comb the hair
to remove scalar debris and
after suitably parting, apply Dritho-ScalpÒ
only to the lesions and rub in
well, taking care to prevent the cream
spreading onto the forehead.
Keep Dritho-ScalpÒ well
away from the eyes. Avoid application of the cream
to uninvolved scalp margins. Remove any unintended residue
which may be deposited behind the ears. At
the end of each period
of contact, wash the hair
and scalp to remove any surplus
cream (which may have become
red/brown in color). Always wash hands thoroughly after use.
