Subject: cutivate cream

Question
I am using this on my 5 month old.  I put it on her and then put a shirt on so she doesn't rub it on her face, etc.  What would happen if she did get to it and got some in her mouth?  I know it is not "good" for her, but how much would she have to get to harm her?  Babies put everything in their mouth!

Answer
Hi Sue,
If you are applying itto the sking and rubbing it in util it vanishes there is too little on the outsideof the skin for her to be hurs if she got it into her mouth. The amount she would ingest if any is not well absorbed and what is absorbed is qickly inactivated by the body.
Covering the area with a shirt is a good precautionary measure.
Thank you for using Allexperts
Sincerely,
Eric Brandt, B.Sc. Pharm
