Peru balsam is suitable mainly for external use. It was included in a number of preparations (ointments and suppositories), but today they have become rare. Due to insufficient pharmacological data and increased allergenic risk, there is no approved finished drug with a defined indication.
Unless otherwise prescribed, preparations containing 5-20% Perubalsam can be applied. For large-area application, the percentage of Perubalsam should be no more than 10%.
