How do I use Salvax?

Use Salvax as prescribed and directed by your doctor or healthcare provider. Check the label for exact instructions. If it is your first time using Salvax, prime the pump by shaking vigorously and then holding the can upright away from your face while pressing down on the pump for 3-5 seconds, or until the foam appears. Before each use, be sure to shake the can well. For optimal results, soak the affected area with water for at least 5 minutes before the application of the Salvax foam. To apply the foam, hold the can upright and dispense the foam onto the palm of your hand, and apply to affected area by rubbing in the foam completely. Wipe off excess foam from pump after each use, and wash your hands immediately after using Salvax foam (unless your hands are the affected area). Apply Salvax at bedtime and wash it off the following morning, unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider. If excess dry skin or irritation occurs, you may be able to use a mild skin lotion or cream to moisturize the area, but talk to your doctor first.

What if I forget to apply a dose of Salvax?

If you forget to take a dose of Salvax, use it as soon as possible. But if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not compensate your missed dose by using 2 doses at once.
