Possible side effects

Used correctly for short periods, side effects are usually mild:

• Burning or stinging when first applied

Stop using it and see a doctor if the skin becomes infected, or if you notice signs of steroid absorption such as weight gain or a rounded face after long use.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not use it on the face, groin or armpits unless your doctor tells you to, and never under tight dressings unless advised.
• Do not use it on untreated skin infections, acne or rosacea.
• It is not a fairness or whitening cream; misusing it this way can cause lasting skin damage.
• Avoid use in children and during pregnancy unless your doctor prescribes it.

Storage

Store below 30°C and keep the cap tightly closed. For external use only; avoid contact with the eyes unless the product is made for eye use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
