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.
When applying ointment in children from 1 year old and older, 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 the ratio of the surface area and body weight is greater in children than in adults, children are at greater risk of suppressing the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system and the development of the Itenko-Cushing syndrome with any local glucocorticosteroids. Long-term treatment with a glucocorticosteroid can lead to disruption in the growth and development of the child. Therefore, children should receive the minimum effective dose of the drug as short as possible to achieve the effect and the drug should be administered under the supervision of a doctor.
For the prevention of recurrence 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. To enhance the effect, occlusive dressings can be used.
