Who Simple Sulfur Ointment is suitable for

A dermatological agent for external use in skin diseases when local antimicrobial and antiparasitic action is needed. Suitable for adults, and for children aged 3 to 12 years — only on a doctor’s recommendation, taking into account the benefit/risk ratio.

When to choose Simple Sulfur Ointment

What problem the medicine solves

Simple Sulfur Ointment acts locally and helps with skin diseases associated with microbial or parasitic lesions:

• Antimicrobial action: when sulfur interacts with organic substances, compounds are formed that have an antiseptic effect.
• Antiparasitic action: the medicine is used in scabies treatment regimens.
• Local action: when applied externally, sulfur and soft white paraffin are practically not absorbed into the systemic bloodstream.

Conditions and features of use

• Use externally only.
• Apply the ointment to the affected areas of the skin 2–3 times a day.
• When treating scabies, the application regimen and personal hygiene requirements are determined individually by the doctor.
• Avoid contact of the ointment with mucous membranes and eyes.
• Wash hands thoroughly after applying the ointment.
• The medicine is contraindicated in children under 3 years of age.

Compatibility and comprehensive care

• When used simultaneously with other external medicines, new compounds with unpredictable effects may form.
• The ointment should not be combined with oxidizing agents, in particular hydrogen peroxide or potassium permanganate, due to the risk of chemical burns.
• During pregnancy or breastfeeding, the medicine may be used only when the expected benefit to the mother exceeds the potential risk to the fetus or child.
• If allergic reactions occur, use should be discontinued and a doctor should be consulted.
