Homeopathic medicine
According to homeopathic medicines, OMIDA® Low-fat Cardiospermum can be used in skin diseases such as inflammation of the skin with itching, e.g. eczema, neurodermatitis (endogenous eczema ) and on skin prone to allergies.
In the event of severe inflammation of the skin, suppuration or extensive skin changes, as well as fever or persistent, unclear or newly occurring symptoms (suspected systemic diseases), a doctor should be consulted. If your doctor has prescribed other medicines for you, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether OMIDA® Low-fat Cardiospermum can be used at the same time.
OMIDA® Low-fat Cardiospermum should not be used in children under the age of 2 without medical advice.
OMIDA® Cardiospermum low-fat must not be used if you are hypersensitive (allergic) to the active ingredient or one of the other ingredients, e.g doctor or druggist if you
-suffer from other diseases,
have allergies or
-use other medicines (including those you bought yourself!)!
Based on previous experience, there is no known risk for the child if used as intended. However, systematic scientific investigations have never been carried out. As a precaution, you should avoid taking medicines during pregnancy and breastfeeding or ask your doctor, pharmacist or druggist for advice.
Children from 2 years and adults:
Unless otherwise prescribed by the doctor, apply thinly to the affected areas several times a day as needed.
For children under 2 years of age, a doctor should be consulted before treatment.

Observe the dosage given in the package leaflet or prescribed by your doctor. If the desired improvement does not occur when treating a small child/child, they should see a doctor.
If you think the drug is too weak or too strong, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or druggist.
In rare cases, hypersensitivity reactions (e.g. allergies to one of the ingredients) can occur on the skin. In such cases, use should be discontinued and a doctor consulted.
If you notice any side effects that are not described here, you should inform your doctor, pharmacist, or druggist.
