What is Ichthammol?

Ichthammol, the active ingredient in Ictammolo Almus, is a topical anti‑inflammatory and keratolytic presented as a topical preparation for skin application. It is used to soothe inflamed, irritated or infected skin conditions and supports the healing process in dermatitis, eczema, acne and minor wounds, and to promote the healing process and to promote other superficial skin lesions.

GNH USA supplies Ictammolo Almus as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, with consistent quality and regulatory compliance across multiple regions.

What is Ichthammol used for?

Ictammolo Almus (ichthammol) is applied topically to address inflammatory and keratolytic skin conditions. - Dermatitis: reduces inflammation and promotes healing of inflamed skin. - Eczema: alleviates itching and assists in restoring the skin barrier. - Acne: helps clear lesions by softening keratin plugs and reducing bacterial growth. - Minor skin infections: provides antibacterial action to support resolution. - Wound healing: facilitates tissue repair and reduces exudate.

What are the side effects of Ichthammol?

Topical ichthammol is generally well tolerated, but local reactions can occur.

Common Side Effects: - Skin irritation: mild redness at the application site. - Dryness: temporary loss of moisture. - Erythema: superficial redness. - Itching: mild pruritus. - Burning sensation: transient warmth. - Allergic contact dermatitis: localized rash.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction: anaphylaxis or extensive swelling. - Bullous dermatitis: blister formation. - Skin ulceration: deep tissue breakdown. - Systemic toxicity: rare absorption leading to systemic effects. - Secondary infection: overgrowth of resistant organisms.

What precautions apply to Ichthammol?

Before using Ictammolo Almus, consider the following safety measures. - Pregnancy: safety not established; avoid unless benefits outweigh risks. - Breastfeeding: unknown; consider potential exposure to the infant. - Age: use in children only under professional supervision. - Allergy: discontinue if signs of hypersensitivity appear. - Application: apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin; avoid eyes, mucous membranes, and broken skin. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Ichthammol interact with?

Ichthammol may interact with other topical agents; monitor for additive irritation.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use with potent topical steroids may increase risk of skin atrophy. - Combination with other keratolytic agents (e.g., salicylic acid) can cause excessive irritation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Co‑application with moisturizers may affect drug absorption. - Use with phototherapy may increase skin sensitivity. - Concurrent systemic antibiotics do not directly interact but infection status should be monitored.

Ictammolo Almus contains ichthammol and is applied to the skin to help manage inflammatory dermatoses such as dermatitis and eczema, to treat acne, to support healing of minor skin infections and to promote wound repair.
How does ichthammol work in Ictammolo Almus?+
Ichthammol exerts anti‑inflammatory, antibacterial and keratolytic effects. It modulates inflammatory mediators, reduces bacterial colonisation, and softens excess keratin, which together help calm irritated skin and facilitate the removal of dead tissue.
What is the usual dose of Ictammolo Almus?+
The appropriate amount and frequency of Ictammolo Almus are determined by the prescribing health‑care professional based on the specific skin condition, severity, patient age and response to therapy.
Is Ictammolo Almus safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for ichthammol in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should be used only if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision should be made in consultation with a health‑care provider.
