Ichtholan Ortho

Ichthammol, the active ingredient in Ichtholan Ortho, is a topical anti‑inflammatory dermatologic preparation presented as a topical ointment for skin application. It is used to soothe inflammation, reduce bacterial load and promote healing of various mild to moderate skin conditions in adults and children.

GNH USA supplies Ichtholan Ortho as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The company adheres to EU quality standards and provides reliable global distribution.

Ichtholan Ortho is applied topically to manage inflammatory and infectious skin disorders.

Dermatitis: reduces redness, itching and swelling. Eczema: calms flare‑ups and improves skin barrier function. Acne vulgaris: limits bacterial proliferation and inflammation of lesions. Boils and furunculosis: aids drainage and diminishes local infection. Insect bites: relieves itching and prevents secondary infection. Minor skin infections: provides antibacterial and anti‑inflammatory support.

Topical application of Ichtholan Ortho may be associated with local skin reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Mild irritation or burning at the application site. - Redness or erythema. - Itching or pruritus. - Dryness or peeling of skin. - Contact dermatitis. - Transient stinging sensation.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis). - Extensive skin necrosis. - Systemic toxicity (rare, due to excessive absorption). - Hypersensitivity rash. - Ulceration of the treated area. - Secondary bacterial or fungal infection.

When using Ichtholan Ortho, consider the following safety measures.

Allergy assessment: avoid if known hypersensitivity to ichthammol or formulation components. Pregnancy and lactation: consult a healthcare professional before use. Pediatric use: limit to children over 2 years unless directed by a prescriber. Application area: restrict to affected skin; avoid eyes, mucous membranes and large surface areas. Duration of use: discontinue if no improvement after 7‑10 days. Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and heat.

Topical ichthammol can interact with other skin products; monitor for additive irritation.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use with potent topical corticosteroids on the same area (risk of skin atrophy). - Application under occlusive dressings over large areas (enhanced absorption, irritation). - Use on severely compromised skin with extensive infection (may delay healing).

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Combination with topical antibiotics (watch for increased irritation). - Use with alcohol‑based antiseptics (possible burning sensation). - Concurrent phototherapy (potential additive photosensitivity).
