How to use molludab:

Can use box as a stand to prevent spillages

Apply to all bumps. Wet the brush with the solution again after applied to 1-3 bumps.

Apply twice daily to all bumps (morning and evening)

Use for maximum 2 weeks duration. If symptoms still persist consult your doctor.

When applied, the bumps should become inflamed (turn red for at least 12 hours is the most common sign). This is a sign that the bumps are healing (as the medication works by causing inflammation so the body can attack the virus).

Do not apply any more Molludab to a bump that is already inflamed.

During the 2 week course, you may apply Molludab to any new bumps that appear that are not inflamed

If all the bumps are inflamed before the 2 weeks is up then there is no need to use any more Molludab (unless new spots come)
