Application to the baby
A popular application of Tannolact is diaper dermatitis. It is also known as diaper rash. This is an inflammatory skin disease in the anal region of babies.
Due to a significantly thinner and more sensitive skin in small children, wounds and inflammation in this area are particularly common. These are differently pronounced from child to child. The anti-inflammatory and anti-itching effect of Tannolact Fat Cream is used to prevent colonization with germs and more serious infections. As an alternative to the cream, various bath additives are also available for the treatment of diaper dermatitis in babies.
Price
Tannolact fat cream is not available in pharmacies on prescription. Tubes of different sizes (20 and 50 grams) are available. While a 20g cream is available for about 5 Euro, a 50g cream costs about 10 Euro.
Alternatives to Tannolact fat cream
Other drugs are available to inhibit inflammation and itching in the context of various skin diseases. At the same time, Tannolact also offers other dosage forms (including lotions and bath additives), which are intended to facilitate application in certain areas of the body. Cortisone is a common alternative for inflammation of the skin.
Compared to Tannolact fat cream, however, the use of cortisone ointments has a broad spectrum of side effects. Characteristic is the development of a very thin skin (atrophy of the skin) with the emergence of small blood vessels. An alternative for severe itching is urea. This is also partly contained in Tannolact fat cream. In addition to its mild itch-killing effect, it serves above all to increase the moisture content of very dry skin, as is the case with neurodermatitis, for example.
Application in pregnancy and lactation
It is possible to use Tannolact fat cream during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. As investigations and studies have shown, the active ingredients of Tannolact do not enter the body’s circulation. Therefore, a spread via the placenta into the embryo or breast milk is impossible. To date, no incidents or side effects have been reported in pregnant women or nursing mothers.
