THE PREPARATION DESCRIPTION IS NOT INTENDED FOR MEDICATION WITHOUT PARTICIPATION OF THE DOCTOR!

What is it used for?
For the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. The lotion formulation may be applied to scalp lesions.

Contraindications and cautions:
Eyes and skin: The lotion contains isopropyl alcohol and may cause stinging or burning when applied to damaged or sunburned skin. Do not use in or near the eyes.
Infections: You may experience an infection in the treated area while using a topical (skin-applied) corticosteroid. If this is the case, contact your doctor for instruction regarding treatment.
Internal absorption: Absorption of topical corticosteroids will increase if large areas are treated or if dressings that don't breathe are used. This is especially important for infants and children.
Poor circulation: If you have poor blood circulation, talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of using this medication.
Pregnancy: If you are or may be pregnant, talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of using this medication. Pregnant women should not use this medication in large amounts or for prolonged periods of time.
Breast-feeding: Since it is not known whether this medication passes into breast milk, speak to your doctor and decide whether to stop nursing or to stop the medication.
Children: Children may be more likely to experience side effects from this medication. The risk of side effects increases when large body areas are treated, when treatment lasts for a long time, and when dressings that don't breathe are used.
