Odomos Mosquito Repellent Cream With Vitamin-E – 50g

Product Overview

Odomos is the best-known mosquito repellent cream in the subcontinent, and this is the 50g Vitamin-E version — a non-sticky formula that sits comfortably on skin and does not leave the greasy film that stops people reapplying.

The comfort of a repellent is not a trivial feature. Dengue and chikungunya are transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes that bite in daylight, particularly early morning and late afternoon, so protection has to be worn during ordinary daily life. A repellent that feels unpleasant gets left in the drawer.

Key Benefits

• Protects against mosquito bites indoors and outdoors
• Non-sticky formula that is comfortable enough to wear all day

How to Use

1. Apply a thin, even layer to all exposed skin. Mosquitoes find the patch you missed — ankles, the back of the neck, behind the ears.
2. Do not apply under clothing. Repellent only works where a mosquito would land.
3. Reapply as the label directs, and sooner after sweating, swimming or towelling.
4. Wash it off when you come indoors for the evening or before bed.

Using Repellent on Children

• Check the age guidance printed on the pack before using it on a child, and follow it. Repellent age limits depend on the active ingredient and the concentration.
• Apply it to your own hands first, then onto the child — never let a child apply it themselves.
• Keep it away from eyes, mouth, and any cut or irritated skin.
• Do not put it on a child’s hands. Hands go in mouths and eyes.
• Wash it off when the child comes indoors.
• For infants, a physical barrier — a mosquito net over the cot or pram — is safer and more effective than any cream.

Safety

• External use only. Do not swallow.
• Avoid the eyes, lips and broken skin.
• Stop using it if the skin becomes red, itchy or irritated.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Ask a doctor before use if you are pregnant or have a skin condition.

What Else Actually Reduces Bites

Repellent is one layer. Empty standing water around the house — buckets, plant saucers, drain covers, discarded containers — because that is where Aedes breeds and it needs very little water. Use nets over cots. Wear long sleeves at dawn and dusk. Screens on windows. None of that is a product, and all of it does more than any cream.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does one application last?

Follow the reapplication interval printed on the pack. Sweating and washing shorten it considerably.

Can I use it on a baby?

Check the age stated on the pack. For young infants a net is the better answer.

Does it work indoors?

Yes — and it needs to, since the mosquitoes that carry dengue bite during the day, often indoors.
