Description
EPISTAS
Nasal Ointment
Description
Nasal ointment intended for the treatment of epistaxis. EPISTAS is a hydrophilic ointment in which microgranules of pectin and gelatin are dispersed. Pectin is a polysaccharide substance of vegetal origin that behaves as a hydrophilic colloid. Gelatin, a purified protein, also has great hydrophilic power. The two substances, due to their ability to absorb liquids, form a protective "film" that, in EPISTAS, acts with a mechanical action to stop nosebleeds, creating a barrier at the level of the fragile capillaries of the nasal mucosa.
Components
PEG 400, PEG 4000, gelatin, pectin, benzalkonium chloride solution (50%).
How to use
Place a dose of ointment into the nostrils, possibly using gauze, compressing the nose from the outside with your fingers.
Warnings
Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse eyes with plenty of water. Keep out of reach of children. After use, make sure the nozzle is clean before closing the tube; otherwise, clean it with disinfectant solution. Personal use of the device is recommended. Do not use if hypersensitive or allergic to one of the components. If the product causes sensitization, stop treatment and consult your doctor. The use, especially if prolonged, of all products for topical use may cause sensitization. In this case, contact your doctor to establish appropriate therapy.
Conservation
The expiry date refers to the product in intact packaging and correctly stored. Do not use the device after the expiry date indicated on the package. Close the tube after use. Store at room temperature. Do not expose to heat sources. Do not dispose of the container in the environment. Validity with intact packaging: 36 months.
Format
30 g tube.
