Hovid Whitfields Ointment 50g

Hovid Whitfields Ointment is a compound formulation combining benzoic acid and salicylic acid, traditionally referred to as Whitfield's ointment, formulated for application to the skin. Effects to be aware of include skin irritation, dryness, or peeling, particularly with prolonged use, which is expected due to its keratolytic (skin-softening) action. It's helpful to know this ointment is generally applied to a well-defined skin area and used consistently for the recommended duration. Excessive or overly frequent application is not needed for the intended effect. Always disclose any known sensitivities to salicylates before starting.

A thin layer is typically applied once or twice daily to the affected area, or as advised by your doctor or pharmacist, generally for several weeks. Avoid using more than the recommended amount.

• Skin irritation
• Dryness
• Peeling skin
• Redness at the application site
• Burning sensation
• Allergic skin reaction (rare)

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, with the cap tightly closed after use, out of reach of children.

• Apply only a thin layer to the affected area.
• Expect some peeling as part of the intended keratolytic effect.
• Avoid use on broken or extensively irritated skin.
• Close the cap tightly after each use, store out of children's reach.
• Consult a doctor if irritation becomes severe.

Apply a thin layer of the ointment to the affected area of clean, dry skin, generally once or twice daily as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Wash your hands after application unless the hands are the treated area.

This product generally has a shelf life of around 2 to 3 years from manufacture when unopened, with a shorter period once opened. Always check the expiry date on the packaging.

The active ingredients are Benzoic Acid and Salicylic Acid, a compound keratolytic and antifungal formulation.

This ointment should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to salicylates, benzoic acid, or any listed ingredient. It should not be applied to broken skin, large areas, or by individuals with diabetes-related poor circulation without medical advice.

As a topical product, food interactions are not applicable. Using other topical keratolytic or exfoliating products on the same area at the same time may increase skin irritation.
