The tube features a silver-plated screw-on lid, with fine ridges around the edge for better grip. The visible surface of the tube displays a matte patina, with some signs of wear and marks of time that enhance its vintage authenticity.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe original label, made of slightly yellowed beige paper, has a wide orange diagonal band bearing the inscription \"DESARTYL\" in white capital letters. Around this band, several typical terms from old pharmaceutical vocabulary are visible: \"HÉPATINE\", \"GUI\", \"PULMINE\", \"PANCRÉINE\", as well as \"HYPOTENSEUR\" at the bottom, on an orange background. Small stylized symbols, probably related to the composition, decorate the label.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe graphic design, with geometric typography and subdued colors, evokes the retro aesthetic of pharmaceutical or parapharmaceutical products from the 1940s to 1960s.
