OSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
LOCATOP®
Cream should be applied to the affected areas as a thin film limited
to two times daily,
each
rubbed in gently.
An excessive increase in the number of applications per day risks
aggravating the adverse effects without improving the
therapeutic effects.
Treatment of large areas required monitoring of the number of tubes
used.
For rational use, it is advisable to apply the product as small
amounts spaced out, then spread with a plastic glove until fully
absorbed.
Gradual withdrawal is advisable in some dermatoses (psoriasis, atopic
dermatitis, etc.). This may be done by reducing the
frequency of applications and/or by using a less potent or less
concentrated corticoid.
As with other corticosteroids, therapy should be discontinued when
control is achieved. If no improvement
is
seen within 2 weeks, reassessment of diagnosis may be necessary.
LOCATOP®
Cream should not be used with occlusive dressings.
