Protect your eyes and mucous membranes from contact with the medicine.

Other medicines and Pudroderm

You should tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are currently taking or have recently taken
and about medicines you plan to take.
Benzocaine interferes with the action of sulfonamides.
The local anesthetic effect of benzocaine is weakened in the presence of benzoyl peroxide,
which is often a component of topical anti-acne medications. For this reason,
before applying Pudroderm, in patients using products containing benzoyl peroxide,
the skin should be thoroughly cleaned of their residue.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

In pregnancy and during breastfeeding or if you suspect you are pregnant, or if you plan to become pregnant,
you should consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

or pharmacist. If you have any doubts, you should consult a doctor or pharmacist.
Pudroderm is a suspension intended for use on the skin. Before use, the contents of the package should be thoroughly mixed by vigorous shaking. Shake before each use.
Usually, a not-too-thin layer of the suspension is applied to the affected areas of the skin 2 to 3 times a day or more often if needed. The medicine should not be rubbed into the skin or covered with a dressing.
The medicine is easily washed off with running, warm water.

Use in children and adolescents

Additional side effects in children
Pudroderm should not be used in children under 2 years of age, as local use of benzocaine may lead to methemoglobinemia and the occurrence of an allergic reaction. You should be cautious when using the medicine in older children.
If you experience any side effects, including any possible side effects not listed in the leaflet, you should tell your doctor or pharmacist or nurse.
