Always apply Lotrisone cream exactly as prescribed by your doctor. This usually involves a thin layer applied to the affected area twice daily, morning and night. Gently rub it in until fully absorbed. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and open wounds.
Duration of Treatment
Your doctor will determine the length of your treatment. Continue using the cream for the full prescribed period, even if your symptoms improve. Stopping early might lead to a recurrence of the infection. Be sure to follow the dosage instructions precisely.
Possible Side Effects
Common side effects include mild burning, itching, or redness at the application site. These usually subside quickly. However, if you experience more severe reactions like swelling, blistering, or increased irritation, contact your doctor immediately. Report any unusual side effects to your pharmacist or doctor.
Storage
Store Lotrisone cream at room temperature, away from direct heat and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children. Check the expiration date and discard any expired cream.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never apply a double dose to make up for a missed one.
