Description
Nasal ointment for the treatment of epistaxis. EPISTAS is a hydrophilic ointment in which pectin and gelatin microgranules are dispersed. Pectin is a polysaccharide substance of plant origin that acts as a hydrophilic colloid. Gelatin, a purified protein, also has a strong hydrophilic power. Due to their ability to absorb liquids, these two substances form a protective "film" which, in EPISTAS, acts mechanically to stop nasal bleeding, creating a barrier at the fragile capillaries of the nasal mucous membranes.

Components
PEG 400, PEG 4000, gelatin, pectin, benzalkonium chloride solution (50%).

Instructions for use
Apply a dose of ointment into the nostrils, possibly with the aid of gauze, compressing the nose from the outside with your fingers.
