The use of Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Ammonium Laurilsulfate) Lactate Lotion, 12% should be discontinued if any hypersensitivity is observed.

PRECAUTIONS

General -

For external use only. Stinging or burning may occur when applied to skin with fissures, erosions, or that is otherwise abraded. Caution is advised when used on the face because of the potential for irritation. The potential for post-inflammatory hypo- or hyperpigmentation has not been studied.

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility -

The topical treatment of CD-1 mice with 12%, 21% or 30% Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash lactate formulations for two-years did not produce a significant increase in dermal or systemic tumors in the absence of increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The maximum systemic exposure of the mice in this study was 0.7 times the maximum possible systemic exposure in humans. However, a long-term photocarcinogenicity study in hairless albino mice suggested that topically applied 12% Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Ammonium Laurilsulfate) lactate formulations enhanced the rate of ultraviolet light-induced skin tumor formation.

The mutagenic potential of Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Ammonium Laurilsulfate) lactate formulations was evaluated in the Ames assay and in the mouse in vivo micronucleus assay, both of which were negative.

In dermal Segment I and III studies with Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Ammonium Laurilsulfate) lactate formulations there were no effects observed in fertility or pre- or postnatal development parameters in rats at dose levels of 300 mg/kg/day (1800 mg/m2/day), approximately 0.4 times the human topical dose.

Pregnancy:

Teratogenic effects:

Pregnancy Category B -

Animal reproduction studies have been performed in rats and rabbits at doses up to 0.7 and 1.5 times the human dose, respectively and have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Ammonium Laurilsulfate) lactate formulations. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Ammonium Laurilsulfate) Lactate Lotion, 12% should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.

Nursing Mothers -

Although lactic acid is a normal constituent of blood and tissues, it is not known to what extent this drug affects normal lactic acid levels in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Ammonium Laurilsulfate) lactate is administered to a nursing woman.

Pediatric Use -

Safety and effectiveness of Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash lactate have been demonstrated in infants and children. No unusual toxic effects were reported.

Geriatric Use -

Clinical studies of Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Ammonium Laurilsulfate) lactate lotion, 12% did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most frequent adverse experiences in patients with xerosis are transient stinging (1 in 30 patients), burning (1 in 30 patients), erythema (1 in 50 patients) and peeling (1 in 60 patients). Other adverse reactions which occur less frequently are irritation, eczema, petechiae, dryness, and hyperpigmentation. Due to the more severe initial skin conditions associated with ichthyosis, there was a higher incidence of transient stinging, burning and erythema (each occurring in 1 in 10 patients).

OVERDOSAGE

The oral administration of Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Ammonium Laurilsulfate) lactate to rats and mice showed this drug to be practically non-toxic (LD50>15 mL/kg).

Collagenous structures are primarily affected, and lesions develop in bones and blood vessels. Administration of ascorbic acid completely reverses the symptoms of ascorbic acid deficiency.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol Acetate):


A generic descriptor for all tocopherols and tocotrienols that exhibit alpha-tocopherol activity. By virtue of the phenolic hydrogen on the 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol nucleus, these compounds exhibit varying degree of antioxidant activity, depending on the site and number of methyl groups and the type of isoprenoids.

Indication: Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Vitamin E (Tocopherol Acetate)), known for its antioxidant activities, is protective against cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer and has also demonstrated immune-enhancing effects. It may be of limited benefit in some with asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. It may be helpful in some neurological diseases including Alzheimer's, some eye disorders including cataracts, and diabetes and premenstrual syndrome. It may also help protect skin from ultraviolet irradiation although claims that it reverses skin aging, enhances male fertility and exercise performance are poorly supported. It may help relieve some muscle cramps.

Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Vitamin E (Tocopherol Acetate)) is a fat-soluble vitamin and is an important antioxidant. It acts to protect cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of the body's metabolism. Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Vitamin E (Tocopherol Acetate)) is often used in skin creams and lotions because it is believed to play a role in encouraging skin healing and reducing scarring after injuries such as burns. There are three specific situations when a Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Vitamin E (Tocopherol Acetate)) deficiency is likely to occur. It is seen in persons who cannot absorb dietary fat, has been found in premature, very low birth weight infants (birth weights less than 1500 grams, or 3½ pounds), and is seen in individuals with rare disorders of fat metabolism. A Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Vitamin E (Tocopherol Acetate)) deficiency is usually characterized by neurological problems due to poor nerve conduction. Symptoms may include infertility, neuromuscular impairment, menstrual problems, miscarriage and uterine degradation. Preliminary research has led to a widely held belief that Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Vitamin E (Tocopherol Acetate)) may help prevent or delay coronary heart disease. Antioxidants such as Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash (Vitamin E (Tocopherol Acetate)) help protect against the damaging effects of free radicals, which may contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer.
