How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Keralyt). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Systemic toxic reactions are usually associated with much higher serum levels (30 to 40 mg/100 ml).
Peak serum levels occurred within 5 hours of the topical application under occlusion.
