When applying the ointment as an anti-inflammatory or antiseptic agent during the treatment of a skin disease, it must be remembered that it cannot be applied to open wounds. Otherwise, painful sensations are possible. The balm has almost no contraindications, except for one - increased individual sensitivity, i.e. intolerance to individual components of the product. The use of ointment is not recommended for children under the age of five, and the Asterisk during pregnancy is also undesirable.
