Consult your doctor if symptoms persist.
Keep out of the reach of children
For external use only
Replace cap firmly after use
Chlorhexidine is incompatible with anionic agents
Overdose
Repeated Topical Application
Frequently repeated topical application on the same site could theoretically lead to skin irritation. However, since the product is only intended for minor skin trauma, extensive exposure is unlikely.
Accidental or Deliberate Ingestion
The product would only be expected to be harmful if orally ingested in very large quantities. This is unlikely due to the unpleasant taste of the product. In such a case the primary concern would be the phenol intake which can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and headache.
Treatment
Gastric lavage with water and charcoal. Administration of demulcents such as egg white or milk and supportive measures.
