PACKAGE LEAFLET: INFORMATION FOR THE USER

CURADERM Cream 0.005% (solasodine glycosides) 20mL

What Curaderm is and what it is used for

Decades of scientific research concerning the anti-cancer properties of the natural glycoalkaloids BEC, derived from the Solanaceae plant group have led to the formulation of Curaderm, a treatment that also incorporates components with desmolytic and keratolytic actions together with agents that rupture hydrogen bonds to safely eliminate unwanted and defective cancer cells through an orderly process known as apoptosis.

Indication: Topical treatment with anticancer, desmolytic and keratolytic actions, in the healing of localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin.
