•Rosacea.
•Acne vulgaris.
•Perioral dermatitis.
•Perianal and genital pruritus.
•Primary cutaneous viral infections (e.g. herpes simplex, chickenpox).
•Hypersensitivity to any component of the preparation.
•Use is not indicated in treatment of primary infected skin lesions caused by infection with fungi or bacteria; primary or secondary infections due to yeast; or secondary infections due to Pseudomonas or Proteus species.
•Dermatoses in children under 2 years of age, including dermatitis and napkin eruptions. A possibility of increased absorption exists in very young children, thus Methasol-N is not recommended for use in neonates and infants (up to 2 years). In neonates and infants, absorption by immature skin may be enhanced, and renal function may be immature.
•Preparations containing Neomycin (Methasol-N) should not be used for the treatment of otitis externa when the ear-drum is perforated, because of the risk of ototoxicity.
•Due to the known ototoxic and nephrotoxic potential of Neomycin (Methasol-N) sulphate, the use of Methasol-N in large quantities or on large areas for prolonged periods of time is not recommended in circumstances where significant systemic absorption may occur.
It is important to tell your doctor or pharmacist what medicines you are already using, including those bought without a prescription and herbal medicines, before you start treatment with this medicine. Similarly, check with your doctor or pharmacist before using any new medicines while using this one, to ensure that the combination is safe.
If you are using any other types of eye, ear or nose drop you should administer them at least five minutes apart, to prevent the second drop washing away the first. Use gels or ointments last.
