Special Instructions

Long-term use of the drug on the face is not recommended because rosacea, perioral dermatitis and acne may develop.

The drug should not be used in the eye area because of the possibility of contact of the drug with the mucous membranes, which may contribute to cataracts, glaucoma, fungal infections of the eye and exacerbation of herpes infections.

Some areas of the body, such as the armpits and groin folds where there is natural occlusion, are more at risk for stretch marks, so use of the product in these areas of skin should be short-lived.

If a fungal or bacterial infection develops on the skin, additional use of an antibacterial or antifungal agent is necessary.

Pediatric use

The drug may be administered to children from 6 months of age with caution and for the shortest time possible. Do not use the drug under bandages and especially under plastinated diapers, as this enhances absorption of the drug and increases the risk of side effects.

Influence on driving and operating ability
