DermaBase Information

DermaBase at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand DermaBase is manufactured by Marcelle and is available in many countries worldwide, including Canada. There is no generic for this product (at this pharmacy).

Dosage:

Brand DermaBase is commonly available in 460 ml and 2000 ml ointments.

Follow the application directions on the product label.

Usage:

DermaBase is an over-the-counter product primarily used to treat or prevent dry, rough, scaly, or itchy skin, as well as minor skin irritations. It is sometimes recommended for conditions like diaper rash, radiation therapy skin burns, or dehydrated skin. Dry skin happens when the outer layer of skin loses water and becomes cracked, rough, or flaky.

Mechanism of Action:
DermaBase contains no active drug ingredient in the sense of a medicine that changes skin structure or fights infection. It is a skin emollient. It helps soften and protect the skin's surface. DermaBase works by forming an oily layer (or film) on the skin's surface, which traps moisture beneath it, preventing water loss and helping the skin's surface feel softer and smoother. The product is generally considered safe and gentle for repeated use in many people. Use DermaBase according to the directions on the product label. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use, especially if using it alongside medicated treatments.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking DermaBase, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below outlines potential side effects associated with DermaBase. It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary. This information is for educational purposes and should not replace professional medical advice. Before starting DermaBase, it is crucial to discuss possible side effects and risks with your doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects - Since DermaBase Ointment is an emollient with very mild action, side effects are uncommon. However, possible effects include:
• Mild burning, stinging, or irritation of the skin when first applied;
• Redness or itching at the application site

Serious or rare side effects- Seek immediate medical attention or call emergency services if you experience any of the following:
• Signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, hives, swelling of the face, lips, or throat, difficulty breathing;
• Signs of skin infection, such as increasing redness, oozing, heat, or pain

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting DermaBase, it is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist.

DermaBase should not be used if:
• You have a known allergy to DermaBase or any of its ingredients.
• Your skin is broken, infected, or ulcerated. An emollient may not be enough to treat the condition.

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting DermaBase. This is crucial because certain conditions can affect whether DermaBase is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• A history of skin allergies or sensitivity
• An open or infected wound

Drug Interactions:

Before using DermaBase, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, refer to the product label.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. It is also essential to inform your doctor about any herbal teas, recreational drugs, or significant dietary changes you are making, as these could potentially interact with DermaBase. DermaBase may interact with other medicines, but is not limited to:
• Medical topical cream or ointment – layering DermaBase with other topical products requires guidance from your doctor.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

DermaBase is generally considered safe for mild dry skin because it has no active drug ingredient. However, you should still consult your doctor before using topical products when pregnant. You should also consult your doctor if you apply DermaBase to large areas on the breast region when breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, planning to become pregnant, or planning to breastfeed, it is crucial to consult your doctor immediately.

Usage

To get the best results from DermaBase Ointment and keep your skin healthy, it's essential to use it correctly and safely. Always apply the ointment to clean, dry skin, unless your doctor gives you other instructions. The best time to use it is right after a bath or shower, while your skin is still slightly damp. This helps seal in moisture and makes the product work more effectively.

Hot Baths
Try to limit long, hot baths or showers, as they can further dry out your skin. Using lukewarm water and gentle cleansers helps maintain moisture. If you live in a dry climate or use air conditioning or heaters often, using a humidifier can also help prevent dryness.

Frequently Asked Questions about DermaBase at Canada Pharmacy Online:

Why is DermaBase more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Over-the-counter product prices, including DermaBase, are generally lower in Canada than in the U.S. due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations. In Canada, provincial and federal governments negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, which often results in lower prices than in the U.S., where market forces play a more significant role.
