Outwardly. Ointment is applied a thin layer on the affected skin 1-3 times a day. The duration of treatment depends on the nature of the disease and the effectiveness of therapy, usually, 6-14 days.
During the period of aftercare, it is possible to use the drug once a day.
To prevent relapses in the treatment of chronic diseases, therapy should continue for some time after the disappearance of all symptoms.
On areas with denser skin (for example, elbows, palms and feet), as well as places from which the drug is easily washed, ointment can be applied more often.
For limited areas of the skin, occlusal dressings can be used to enhance the effect.
Pediatric Use
When ointments are used in children, the total duration of treatment should be limited.
It should be borne in mind that in young children, skin folds, diapers and diapers can have an effect similar to the effect of an occlusive dressing and increase the systemic resorption of the active substance of the drug.
Due to the fact that in children the ratio of the area and body weight is larger than that of adults, children are at greater risk of suppressing the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system and the development of Cushing's syndrome with the application of any topical glucocorticosteroids. Long-term treatment with a glucocorticosteroid can lead to disruption in the growth and development of the child.Therefore, children should crawl the minimum dose of the drug to achieve the effect and the drug should be administered under the supervision of a doctor.
