The amount and frequency of application are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the specific skin condition, severity and patient response.
Is Leukichtan safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Sodium Bituminosulfonate Light in pregnancy or lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks with their physician before using the product.

How does Leukichtan compare with other topical skin treatments?+
Leukichtan offers a combination of anti‑inflammatory and antibacterial actions in a single formulation, which can be advantageous over agents that provide only one of these effects.

What are the most serious risks associated with Leukichtan?+
Serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as angioedema or anaphylaxis, and rare cases of skin ulceration or necrosis with prolonged use. Patients should discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention if they experience signs of a severe reaction.
Who should not use Leukichtan?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to Sodium Bituminosulfonate Light or any component of the formulation should avoid using Leukichtan.
