Additional Information Provided by the Manufacturer:Calmoseptine ointment is approved by the FDA for use as a “skin protectant drug product”.
The FDA defines a skin protectant drug product as a product that “temporarily protects injured or exposed skin or mucous membrane surfaces from harmful or annoying stimuli and may provide relief to such surfaces”. (FR Doc 03-13751/347.3 June 4, 2004)
The ingredients in Calmoseptine Ointment:
- Provide a physical moisture barrier, keeping feces, urine and wound drainage from intact and injured skin.
- Act as a counter-irritant, and temporarily relieve discomfort and itching from rashes, eczema, insect bites, and contact dermatitis such as poison ivy, oak and sumac.
