Use and Administration

Ellinex is indicated for the treatment of the following skin infections where co-existing symptoms of inflammation, e.g. itching, require rapid relief:
a) All dermatomycoses due to dermatophytes (e.g. Trichophyton species), moulds and other fungi.
b) All dermatomycoses due to yeasts (Candida species).
c) Skin diseases showing secondary infection with these fungi.
d) The treatment of nappy rash where infection due to Candida albicans is present. Candidal vulvitis, candidal balanitis and candidal intertrigo.

Ellinex Cream should be thinly and evenly applied to the affected area twice daily and rubbed in gently. Treatment should be for a maximum of 7 days.
A total daily dose of 10 mg cream per kg body weight should not be exceeded. For an adult weighing 50 kg the maximum daily dose is 500 mg cream which equals approximately 2 cm of cream to be divided into 2 applications per day.
There is no separate dosage schedule for the elderly or the young. However, long-term therapy to extensive areas of skin should be avoided particularly in infants and children.

If the acute symptoms have subsided after about 7 days but treatment is still required, this may be carried out with the corticoid-free preparation intended for this purpose.
