Dosage Reference
Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Adults and children should apply it to the affected areas two to four times daily. The skin naturally becomes thinner in older people, so in the elderly corticosteroids should be used sparingly and only for short periods.
This medicine is for use on the skin only. Clean and dry the affected area first, then rub a small amount onto it. Don't bandage, wrap or cover the treated area unless your doctor has told you to. Don't use a large amount, don't apply it more often than directed, and don't use it for longer than directed. Take care if you are applying it to the face, and keep it away from the eyes and mouth.
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with your usual schedule. Don't "double up" the dose to make up for it.
Side Effects
This medicine may cause burning, itching, redness or a rash on the skin. If these effects don't go away or start to bother you, tell your doctor.
