Melo 0.25% – 30g Herbal Ointment

Available at Pharmaegy Pharmacy. Use as directed by your doctor.

Intro: Melo is a natural herbal ointment produced by Melano Pharma. It is a direct local alternative to the famous MEBO. Like its competitors, it contains Beta-sitosterol (0.25%) in a base of sesame oil and beeswax. It is designed to promote "moist wound healing," which prevents the wound from drying out, reduces pain, and speeds up the regeneration of skin cells without leaving significant scars. Indications: Burns: Effective for first, second, and third-degree burns (including sunburns). Wound Healing: Used for surgical wounds, diabetic foot ulcers, and bedsores. Skin Irritation: Soothes inflammation after laser sessions, chemical peels, or waxing. Maternal Care: Relieves nipple fissures and cracks during breastfeeding (wipe clean before nursing). Infant Care: Treats diaper rash and skin redness in babies. How to Use: Dosage: Apply a thin layer to the affected area 3 to 4 times daily. Application: For burns, it is best to keep the area exposed. If a dressing is required, apply a slightly thicker layer and change the bandage twice a day. Tip: Do not clean the wound with aggressive antiseptics like alcohol before applying, as they can interfere with the healing environment Melo creates. Crucial Rules: Smell: Expect a strong sesame oil scent, which is normal for this type of herbal ointment. Allergies: Do not use if you have a known allergy to sesame oil or beeswax. Staining: The ointment is oily and yellowish-brown; it may stain clothes or bed sheets. Storage: Store in a cool place. If it melts in hot weather, refrigerate for 5 minutes to restore its texture. Generic International Brands: MEBO, Burnasores (Local), Riaheal.
