Sofargen spray is indicated for the local treatment of small skin lesions such as abrasions, excoriations, cuts, superficial wounds and dermatological affections in general.
Dosage & Administration
Shake can well for a few seconds before use. After cleansing the wound, direct the nozzle in its direction, maintaining the can in a vertical position at a distance of approximately 10 cm from the wound. Apply an even layer of Cutaneous Spray on the wound, pressing the spray nozzle for a few seconds. Cutaneous Spray must be applied continuously without interruption once or twice a day until the lesion is completely healed. Carefully clean the wound with water or saline solution every time before reapplying Cutaneous Spray.
The powder contained in Cutaneous Spray will tend to remain adherent to the wound (due to the exudate present) or to macerated skin, while it will tend to come off freely from dry, healthy skin. Where desirable or necessary, cover the lesion with a plaster or bandage (according to the size of the wound) after applying Cutaneous Spray.
