Siopel Cream contains arachis oil (peanut oil) so is not suitable for people with a known peanut allergy.
Siopel Cream is an antiseptic barrier cream that keeps skin clean and protected from water and other external irritants. It also reduces water loss from the surface of the skin, allowing the skin to retain its moisture and reduce the itchiness of the skin.
Siopel contains two active ingredients:
- Cetrimide: An antiseptic substance which destroys certain types of bacteria that can infect the skin, to help keep it clean. Studies with cetrimide have shown it to be active against a wide range of bacteria including Staph. aureus, the most common cause of infection in wounds and burns.
- Dimeticone: A silicone fluid which binds to the skin surface and forms a barrier between the skin and water, or other irritating substances that are soluble in water.
Siopel Cream contains arachis oil (peanut oil) so is not suitable for people with a known peanut allergy.
Directions
Siopel Cream is for external use only. Wash and dry the skin first, then apply the cream sparingly and massage well into the skin.
- For the first 3-4 days: Apply three to five times a day.
- After 3-4 days: Apply once or twice daily.
Ingredients
- Active Ingredients: Cetrimide Solution BP 0.75%w/w and Dimeticone 1000 Ph Eur 10% w/w.
- Other Ingredients: Arachis Oil, Butylated Hydroxytoluene, Cetostearyl Alcohol, Anhydrous Citric Acid, Methyl-parahydroxybenzoate and Water.
Cautions
- Siopel cream contains Arachis oil (peanut oil) and should not be applied by patients known to be allergic to peanut. As there is a possible relationship between allergy to peanut and allergy to Soya, patients with Soya allergy should also avoid Siopel cream.
