Medical device for prevention against certain forms of non-melanoma skin cancer in at-risk patients

Instructions for use
Avoid direct sunlight exposure and wear protective clothing. Apply Actinica generously to uncovered skin areas every morning before the first sun exposure and spread evenly.
Actinica must be applied before applying cosmetic products (allow Actinica to absorb into the skin for a few minutes). After prolonged contact with water or heavy sweating, reapply Actinica. The skin surface varies; the following table provides the required dosage:
- Face (including ears and nose) pump at least 2x
- Pump at least 1x for the scalp
- Pump at least 2x per forearm
- Pump at least 1x per top of the hand

A dosing instruction is included in the packaging for the parts of the body that often come into contact with daylight throughout the year.

For optimal distribution and a pleasant feeling on the skin, the dosage can, for example, be applied in two parts, by waiting 5–10 minutes after the first dose before the second dose.

Note that no more than 10–15 minutes should pass between the first and second application. The indicated dosages for the face, scalp, etc. can serve as a reference for the required dosage on other parts of the skin. On first use, the pump must be pressed several times to draw the lotion into the pump system. The first dose does not provide a full dosage.

Hold the pump as upright as possible and pump slowly to obtain a full dose.
At-risk patients with a weakened immune system should wear protective clothing and avoid direct contact with the sun.

Warnings
The UV filters in Actinica Lotion may cause discoloration of clothing, plastics, and other materials, such as the foil used for swimming pools. Therefore, we recommend not applying Actinica Lotion directly before getting dressed.

Side effects
An allergic reaction to one of the ingredients of Actinica Lotion cannot be ruled out. If irritation, rash, or sunburn symptoms occur after only a short exposure to the sun, this may be a sign of an unwanted side effect. In this case, you should use another product.
Carefully avoid contact with the eyes and use good sunglasses, as Actinica Lotion can cause a burning sensation upon direct contact with the eyes. In case it does get into the eyes, rinse abundantly with water.
