Can we use several antiseptics at the same time ?
It is really one of the gestures to be wary of. By believing to do well, one can be mistaken, because of incompatibilities between the products. The combinations can range from outright ineffectiveness to the formation of a mixture so caustic that it can cause skin damage.
Our instruction is therefore rather: "one antiseptic at a time".
Attention, the drug is not a product like the others. Read the package leaflet carefully before ordering. Keep medicines out of the reach of children. If symptoms persist, seek the advice of your doctor or pharmacist. Beware of incompatibilities on your current products.
