Myribase Gel MyriBase Gel is a protective hydrating emollient for the treatment of dry skin conditions. Containing a higher oil content than an emollient cream, is light to the touch and non-greasy with the ease of absorption of a gel. It encourages rehydration and softening of dry skin by restoring the oils that provide the natural occlusive barrier within the epidermis, thus reducing drying as a result of the evaporation of water diffusing from the underlying layers. It contains isopropyl myristate 15% and liquid paraffin 15% and is free of fragrances and colourings. May be used as an adjunct to other topical treatments INDICATIONS For use as regular first-line treatment and prophylaxis of dry or chapped skin conditions that may also be pruritic or inflamed. MyriBase Gel is best applied when the skin is moist and should ideally be applied to the skin at least three or four times a day or as often as recommended by a healthcare professional to keep the skin well moisturised and in good condition. In particular, it is a good idea to regularly apply to the hands because they are exposed to the elements more than any other part of the body. MyriBaseGelshould be applied liberally to the affected area then smoothed into the skin along the line of hair growth, rather than rubbing it in. Patients may also want to use MyriBase Gel after washing their hands, having a bath or taking a shower. Advise patients that when bathing they should use warm not hot water and to avoid staying in the bath too long as this can make dry skin conditions worse.
