Flamigel RT

Flen Health

Description

Hydroactive colloid gel for skin at risk of damage from radiotherapy (radiation-induced dermatitis). When applied to the skin, it builds a protective barrier that helps prevent skin breakdown and sore skin associated with radiotherapy. Soothes and cools the affected areas.

Indications

Low-grade radiotherapy-induced skin reactions such as red, dry, itching, flaking or irritated skin (dry desquamation). Can also be used to treat more severe skin reactions that may develop at a later stage of radiotherapy as partial skin breakdown and appearance of oozing blisters (moist desquamation).

Contraindications

Do not apply to the eyes or eyelids. Avoid use on people with a known allergy to parabens or any of the ingredients listed. Do not use on ulcerations or infected areas without consulting a doctor.
