Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can Calmoseptine be used for other purposes?

   Calmoseptine is primarily used for skin irritations. Still, some people have reported using it for other purposes, such as reducing the appearance of acne scars or as a lip balm. However, it is important to note that these uses have not been clinically tested and should only be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

2. Is Calmoseptine safe for baby?

   Calmoseptine Ointment was originally developed for use on infants. We do not recommend that it be used on premature newborns. In adults and children Calmoseptine can be used as often as needed to provide protection and relief.

3. How long does Calmoseptine take to work?

   The effectiveness of Calmoseptine can vary depending on the severity of the skin irritation. However, many people notice improvement within a few days of starting treatment.

4. Can this ointment be used on open wounds?

   It should not be applied on open or deep wounds, animal bites, infections, or nasty burns or cuts.

5. Can Calmoseptine be used on babies?

   It was originally developed for use in infants. It is not recommended that it be used on premature newborns.

6. Does it leave any allergic reactions?

   There are very few reports of allergic reactions to this ointment. It does not contain Latex or any "food products", such as nut, nut oils, wheat, gluten, fish oils, or dairy derivatives. People with allergies to Lanolin or Menthol may react to Calmoseptine Ointment.

7. How much ointment should one use each time?

   It only takes a thin layer of the ointment to be effective. In most cases, using too much will not cause problems but can be messy. Under ostomy appliances, only a very small amount should be used, and it must be rubbed in well. Add a small amount of stoma powder to make the wafer adhere better.
