• Avoid use on face, groin, and underarms unless specifically prescribed
• These areas are more prone to steroid related side effects
• Prolonged use may cause skin thinning or visible veins

Use in Children

• Not recommended unless prescribed by a doctor
• Higher absorption may increase risk of side effects
• Long term use may affect growth and hormone balance

Infections and Skin Conditions

• Use only for confirmed mixed bacterial and fungal infections
• Do not use on untreated viral infections such as herpes
• Inform your doctor if you have acne, rosacea, or chronic skin conditions

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

• Use only if clearly prescribed by a healthcare professional
• Avoid applying on large areas or for long durations
• Do not apply on breast area before feeding

Other Important Precautions

• Avoid occlusive dressings unless advised as they increase absorption
• Do not combine with other steroid or antibiotic creams without medical advice
• Overuse may lead to resistance or reduced effectiveness
• Stop use and consult a doctor if irritation or worsening occurs

Usage

Dosage & Frequency

• Frequency: Apply a thin layer to the affected area once or twice daily, as instructed by your healthcare provider.

• Duration: Use only for the shortest time possible. Most doctors limit use to a maximum of 1 to 2 weeks. Do not continue use once the skin condition has healed.

Administration

• Preparation: Cleanse the area with mild soap and water. Pat completely dry before applying the cream.

• Application: Use a small amount to create a thin, even layer over the affected skin. Gently massage it in until it disappears.

• Hygiene: Wash your hands thoroughly before and after every application to avoid spreading the infection.

• Avoid Occlusion: Do not use tight bandages, plastic wraps, or tight-fitting clothes over the treated area unless specifically instructed by your doctor, as this increases the risk of side effects.

• Targeted Use: Apply only to the affected skin. Avoid healthy skin surrounding the rash.
