Brulidine Cream is used to treat cuts, grazes, minor burns and minor skin infections. It may also be used for nappy rash, beard-area rashes, outer-ear infections and ringworm of the scalp.

It contains dibrompropamidine isetionate 0.15% w/w, an antiseptic that can kill certain types of bacteria and fungi.

Wash your hands, then apply a pea-sized amount directly to the affected area or onto a light dressing. Wash your hands afterwards unless they are being treated.

Most people apply the cream two or three times daily. Always follow the instructions in the enclosed patient information leaflet.

Do not use it for more than a few days at a time because prolonged use may interfere with healing. Consult a doctor if your symptoms worsen or do not improve.

Yes, it can be used for minor burns. Serious, extensive or deep burns require prompt medical attention.

The leaflet does not provide specific dosing recommendations for children. It should not be used for prolonged periods on young children; ask a pharmacist if you are unsure.
