Peru Balsam: Dosage

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%.

  • Perubalsam should not be applied if you have a pronounced tendency to allergies.
