4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
EFUDIX CREAM 5% is for topical application.
_Pre-malignant conditions_
The cream should be applied thinly to the affected area once or twice
daily; an occlusive dressing is not essential.
_Malignant conditions_
The cream should be applied once or twice daily under an occlusive
dressing where this is practicable.
The cream should not harm healthy skin. Treatment should be continued
until there is marked inflammatory response from the treated area,
preferably with some erosion in the case of pre-malignant conditions.
Severe discomfort may be alleviated by the use of topical steroid
cream.
The usual duration of treatment for an initial course of therapy is
three to
four weeks, but this may be prolonged. Lesions on the face usually
respond more quickly than those on the trunk or lower limbs whilst
lesions
on the hands and forearms respond more slowly. Healing may not be
complete until one or two months after therapy is stopped.
_Elderly_
Many of the conditions for which EFUDIX CREAM 5% is indicated are
common in the elderly. No special precautions are necessary. _ _
_Children_
In view of the lack of clinical data available, EFUDIX CREAM 5% is not
recommended for use in children.
