Actinica 80 g Lotion
Actinica 80 g Lotion
Actinica Lotion 80 g is the first medical device proven to prevent certain forms of non melanoma skin cancer in various high risk groups. Actinica lotion has been specifically designed to protect people against ultra-violet (UV) exposure which is a key factor in developing NMSC: specifically designed to protect patients at high risk. People who are more susceptible to contracting NMSC are for example, those who are immunosuppressed or have a weakened immune system, have had an organ transplant, undergone chemotherapy and are chronically UV exposed. Actinica offers a convenient and effective solution to prevent the damage caused to the skin by UV light. To encourage once daily use it is dispensed via a convenient pump dispenser which delivers the right amount required by the patient to ensure adequate photoprotection. Actinica should be applied daily throughout the year in the morning before leaving the house. Actinia does not contain ingredients which commonly contribute to the whitening effect caused by some sunscreens. Actinica Lotion contains a combination of modern photostable UV filters, which absorb, reflect and scatter a broad spectrum of UV radiation. It is effective in protecting skin from ultraviolet (UVB) as well as from ultraviolet (UVA) radiation and its SPF 50+ meets the category of 'very high protection' as established by the European Commission. A clinical study, published in the British Journal of Dermatology, found that two years of regular use of Actinica lotion in organ transplant patients led to a 53% reduction in actinic keratoses lesions and prevented the development of new squamous cell carcinoma (types of NMSC.)
