How Care Surgical Spirit Works
Surgical spirit is an alcohol-based skin liquid. The industrial methylated spirit base evaporates quickly once applied, and the surface of the skin feels firmer as it dries. This is why it has traditionally been used on pressure areas and on the feet. Methyl salicylate is included as an active ingredient. Castor oil is included to help reduce the dryness and cracking that alcohol alone can cause.
Because the alcohol content is high, frequent use can leave skin irritated or dry. It should only be used on skin that is intact.
Ingredients
- Active ingredients: Castor oil 2.5% v/v, methyl salicylate 0.5% v/v
- Other ingredients: Industrial methylated spirit, diethyl phthalate
Do not use this product if you are allergic to methyl salicylate, castor oil or any of the other ingredients.
How to Use
- Check the skin is intact. Do not apply to broken, cut, scratched or damaged skin.
- Pour a small amount onto a piece of cotton wool.
- Apply to the affected area of skin as required.
- Allow the area to dry fully before dressing or covering it.
- Close the bottle tightly after use and store it below 25°C, away from naked flames and heat.
For external use only. Keep away from the eyes, the mouth and other mucous membranes. If swallowed accidentally, go to hospital immediately and take the container with you, even if you feel well. Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
Before you use it: Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you are pregnant, may be pregnant or are breastfeeding. If you take warfarin or another anticoagulant, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using it, as topical salicylates can increase the effect of warfarin. If your skin worsens or does not improve, stop using it and seek advice.
