application

Continuous daily treatment should be
limited
to
a

INTERACTION
WITH
OTHER
MEDICATIONS
AND
OTHER FORMS OF INTERACTION

DOSAGE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
ADULTS:
Unless
otherwise
prescribed,
Efficort
should
be
applied once to twice daily in a thin layer over the affected skin
areas.
For the application to be reasonable it is advisable to dab a
small amount of product on to several sites at the affected
areas and to gently massage in until it has been completely
absorbed.
Application should be limited to twice a day. An increase in the
number of daily applications would be likely to aggravate the
side effects without improving the therapeutic efficacy of the
preparation.
Treatment of large areas or long term therapy (3 weeks or
more) require clinical monitoring. In any case the duration of
treatment prescribed by the physician must be strictly obser-
ved. If required, an occlusive dressing could be prescribed by
the physician.
In
case
of
certain
dermatological
conditions
(psoriasis,
dermatitis, ...) a gradual withdrawal might be desirable. This
may be achieved by reducing the frequency of application
and / or the use of a more dilute or less potent corticosteroid.
INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN: Unless otherwise prescribed,
one daily application is generally adequate.
Continuous daily treatment should be limited to a short period
(about
1
week).
If
used
for
a
longer
duration,
period-ical
steroid-free breaks should be interposed.
Occlusive dressings should be avoided in infants and young
children.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE / HANDLING: Squeeze the tube gently
at its base to place a quantity of cream on the fingertips
sufficient
to
cover
the
area
to
be
treated.
Wash
hands
thoroughly and replace cap tightly after use.
