Adex Gel
Adex Gel is a highly moisturising and protective skin emollient with an anti-inflammatory ingredient to reduce inflammation and redness, making it ideal for the treatment and management of dry and/or inflamed skin conditions such as mild to moderate atopic dermatitis, various forms of eczema, contact dermatitis and psoriasis. Its moisturising properties are due to its high oil content and the inclusion of glycerol which holds water in the skin while the added anti‑inflammatory action is provided by a medicinal substance, nicotinamide, which is related to vitamin B. This combination of emollient and anti‑inflammatory makes Adex Gel a simple and convenient treatment that can be used all over the body and for as long as necessary – whether only occasionally, such as during flare ups, or continuously, if the added anti‑inflammatory action is beneficial. Such use may help reduce reliance on more potent anti-inflammatory treatments such as corticosteroids and immunomodulators.
Adex Gel is free from dyes and fragrances and is suitable for use by adults, the elderly and children from 1 year of age.
Adex Gel is available as a 100g tube and a 500g pump bottle.

Directions
- This product is for generalised all-over application to the skin. Apply it three times daily or as often as needed.
- Gently smooth Adex Gel over and around all dry and/or inflamed skin areas. For best results, use a few gentle strokes to smooth the gel across the skin in the same direction as hair growth (like stroking a cat or dog). If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub the skin vigorously.
- If you are using other topically applied products, any instructions supplied with the other product should be followed to allow adequate time for absorption before applying Adex Gel. The time allowed should normally be around 30 minutes for topical corticosteroids and up to 2 hours for certain calcineurin inhibitors. This is to avoid diluting the other product and spreading it to areas that do not need it.
- Carry on using Adex Gel for as long as necessary - whether that may be only occasionally, e.g. during flares, or continuously if the added anti-inflammatory action is beneficial.
- If there is no improvement within 2 to 4 weeks, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
- Before using the 500g bottle, turn the top of the pump dispenser anti-clockwise to unlock it. After unlocking the first time, you will need to press down the pump dispenser several times to prime the pump before any product is dispensed.
- After using the 500g bottle, it is advisable to turn the top of the pump clockwise to lock it. In the case of the tube, replace the cap after use.
- Occasionally, in the 500 g bottle a small pocket of air may form around the bottom end of the pump's dip tube, making it harder to pump the gel out. This may be resolved by tapping the base of the bottle firmly on a hard surface two or three times, so the gel can settle at the bottom around the end of the dip tube. The pump should then be pumped slowly.
Ingredients
Carbomer, glycerol, isopropyl myristate, liquid paraffin, nicotinamide, phenoxyethanol, sorbitan laurate, trolamine and purified water.
Cautions
- Do not use Adex Gel if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to any of the ingredients.
- This product is not known to affect, or to be affected by, medicines taken orally at the same time. It can also be used in addition to any other emollients or applied treatments your doctor, nurse or pharmacist may have given or prescribed for you to use to treat your dry skin condition. If you are using other topically applied products, follow the instructions carefully to avoid diluting the other product and spreading it to areas that do not need it.
- Vitamin B derivative requirements, such as nicotinamide, are increased during pregnancy and infancy. However, safety trials have not been conducted during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Therefore caution should be exercised, particularly in the first three months of pregnancy. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this product.
- Paraffin is a common, important and very effective ingredient in emollient products applied to the skin. However, care should be taken as emollients which soak into medical dressings or fabrics (clothing, pyjamas, bed linen, etc.) can increase the flammability of these items. Patients using emollients (and their parents/carers) should take particular care to avoid these materials coming into contact with naked flames or lit cigarettes, etc. As a precaution, dressings and clothing, etc., should be changed frequently and laundered thoroughly.
- When using it on your face, keep the gel away from your eyes, and avoid getting it inside your nostrils, on your lips or inside your mouth. Accidental eye contact may cause irritation and should be rinsed out with plenty of water. If rinsing one eye, take care to avoid washing product into the other eye. If eye irritation persists, tell your doctor or pharmacist.
