As an auxiliary in the treatment of chickenpox, non-gencial products without a prescription can be applied to the skin, a large selection of which is available in online and stationary pharmacies integrated with GdziePoLek. Currently, gentian is not considered the best choice for chickenpox due to the intense coloring of the skin, which can make it difficult and delay to notice that bacterial superinfection has occurred. For skin with changes in the course of chickenpox, you can use, among others, Preparations of the PoxClin series with soothing ingredients such as aloe vera gel, betaine, panthenol or allantoin: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/97725/poxclin-bodymousse-pianka-przeciwswiadowa-pianka/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/63396/poxclin-coolmousse-pianka-dla-dzieci-z-ospa-wietrzna-pianka/apteki Virasoothe products with itching are also intended for use in the course of the air rifle glycerin and caprylic glycol: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/89948/virasoothe-zel-chlodzacy-w-sprayu-zel/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/89949/virasoothe-zel/apteki Olile-Active complex, zinc oxide and bisabolol contains ospa Comfort Spray: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/105919/ospa-comfort-spray-aerozol/apteki Preparations that combine octenidine with phenoxyethanol, such as Octenisept, can be used to disinfect skin lesions, Octaseptal or Maxiseptic: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/87829/octenisept-aerozol-aerozol/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/97727/oktaseptal-aerozol/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/95396/maxiseptic-aerozol-aerozol/apteki Krostki can also be washed with a solution of potassium permanganate or bathe the child briefly in a properly prepared solution of this drug: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/63348/potasu-nadmanganian-proszek-do-wytworzenia-plynu/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/39540/kalium-hypermanganicum-galena-tabletki-rozpuszczalne/apteki In the course of chickenpox, hygiene also plays a key role in the care of skin lesions - short baths with gentle drying of the skin, frequent change of underwear and bedding and attention to hand hygiene. It is worth trimming the child's nails short. I encourage you to read our studies on chickenpox: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/leki-na-ospe-wietrzna-i-polpasiec https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-wyslac-dziecko-na-ospa-party Regarding the shortage of gentian, we have already contacted the manufacturers - as soon as we receive answers, we will post them in the notification section of our website.

We have received information from the manufacturer that the last productions of Gentian aqueous solution and Gentian spirit solution took place in February 2022. Currently, stocks in wholesalers have been almost completely exhausted. At the same time, the manufacturer states that due to the increased sales of other products, the earliest possible date of re-production falls on September this year. However, this deadline may change.
