3. How to use p-toluendiamina SmartPractice

Method of administration

During the patch test, the healthcare professional will perform the following steps:

  • For the allergy test, a 5 mm strip of ointment is applied directly to the designated area of the test panel.
  • Then, the test panel is applied to healthy, dry skin (usually on the back or upper arm).

Duration of treatment

  • The patch test will be removed 48 hours after application.
  • Your doctor will read the test result 30 minutes after removal and again after 1 and 2 days, when allergic reactions have fully developed and possible irritant reactions have disappeared.
  • The evaluation of skin reactions will be performed by the doctor following an established protocol. The instructions for this evaluation are found in the information for healthcare professionals (see section "Interpretation").
  • If you experience severe discomfort in the test area, contact your doctor. Your doctor may decide to remove the test.

Use in children and adolescents

Clinical trial data in children are limited.

Children under 12 years old should only undergo the test with p-toluendiamina SmartPractice when there is a strong suspicion of contact allergy to p-toluendiamina. Your doctor will decide whether to perform the test.

The patch test can be removed after 24 hours to reduce irritant reactions.
