Axeta Acetate alumina gel Tb 50 g

Medical product with acetic acid clay

What is Axeta and when is it used?

The use of Axeta is recommended instead of moist compresses for all forms of minor, blunt (bloodless) injuries such as bruises, contusions, sprains and strains (without severe bruising) as well as skin abrasions and skin irritations, sunburn, insect bites and skin irritations caused by sweating ( burning feet) or sores.Axeta is available in a pleasantly cooling gel form and contains the well-known acetic clay (also known as acetic clay), supplemented by the caring properties of chamomile and arnica. Acetic tartaric clay protects the skin from the penetration of pathogens. Due to its cooling properties, Axeta helps relieve pain from blunt injuries and relieves itching from insect bites. The chamomile extract is used to care for sensitive and inflamed skin and the arnica tincture supports the natural regeneration of the skin.

When should Axeta not be used or only with caution?

Axeta should not be applied to open injuries (bleeding wounds). Axeta should not come into contact with the eyes or mucous membranes.

Patients who know that they are hypersensitive to chamomile or arnica should not use the preparation.

May Axeta be used during pregnancy or in the breastfeeding?
