Question
Posted on: March 6 2013I have received the following prescription: Salicylic acid 600mg Resorcine mono-acetate 600mg ethanol disinfecting 450g Aqua AD 600cc 2x PD to apply the armpit.
< br/> But Resorcinemonoacetate is no longer in the trade. Can I use ordinary sulpho resorcinol and if then in the same quantity?
Answer
However, there is not much choice. Of course, the Sulpho resorcinol can be slightly more aggressive than the mono acetate. But the concentration is not that high. I would inform the patient of the change and point out a chance of irritation in which he then ceases treatment.
