Efficort Dosage/Direction for Use

Adults: Unless otherwise prescribed, Efficort should be applied once to twice daily in a thin layer over the affected skin areas. For the application to be reasonable it is advisable to dab a small amount of product on to several sites at the affected areas and to gently massage in until it has been completely absorbed.
Application should be limited to twice a day. An increase in the number of daily applications would be likely to aggravate the side effects without improving the therapeutic efficacy of the preparation.
Treatment of large areas or long term therapy (3 weeks or more) require clinical monitoring. In any case the duration of treatment prescribed by the physician must be strictly observed. If required, an occlusive dressing could be prescribed by the physician.
In case of certain dermatological conditions (psoriasis, dermatitis, ...) a gradual withdrawal might be desirable. This may be achieved by reducing the frequency of application and / or the use of a more dilute or less potent corticosteroid.
Infants and young children: Unless otherwise prescribed, once daily application is generally adequate.
Continuous daily treatment should be limited to a short period (about 1 week). If used for a longer duration, periodical steroid-free breaks should be interposed.
Occlusive dressings should be avoided in infants and young children.
