TCP Antiseptic Ointment is for topical use only and overdose is considered to be very unlikely.

Halogenated phenols act on all pathogenic micro-organisms similarly and to approximately the same degree – i.e. they are non-specific; and their activity is not appreciably reduced by the presence of relatively large amounts of non-living organic matter; their relatively simple chemical constitution means that their use is not liable to encourage the emergence of strains of micro-organisms adapted to resist their action.

TCP Antiseptic Ointment is for topical use only. Systemic absorption from this topical dosage form is considered unlikely.
