Always apply Lotrisone cream exactly as your doctor prescribed. The typical application involves a thin layer to the affected area twice daily, morning and evening. However, your doctor might recommend a different frequency or amount depending on your specific condition and response to treatment.
Gently rub the cream into the skin until it’s fully absorbed. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, and mouth. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
Continue using the cream for the full duration of treatment, even if your symptoms improve before then. Stopping early may lead to recurrence of the infection. Consistent application is key to successful treatment.
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double the dose to make up for a missed one.
Report any unusual side effects to your healthcare provider immediately. This includes increased redness, swelling, itching, or burning sensation at the application site.
Proper storage is also important. Keep the cream at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Consult the product leaflet for detailed storage recommendations. Always follow your physician’s guidance for the duration of your treatment course.
