The safety and use of Faktu in children and adolescents have not been tested thus far. Faktu must not be used in children under 12 years of age.
Do not change the prescribed dosage. Monitor if the effect of the medicine is too weak or too strong.
Ointment: Adults: Unless otherwise directed, apply the ointment to affected areas 2 to 3 times daily and massage, if possible, in the rectum after a bowel movement.
To introduce the ointment in the rectum, use the special cannula (dispenser) provided.
Screw the dispenser onto the tube and insert into the anus. Squeeze the tube gently to ensure even flow of Faktu ointment to affected areas through the lateral perforations. Rotate the tube slightly to ensure even distribution of Faktu ointment.
Suppository: Adults: Unless otherwise directed, introduce one suppository into the rectum 2 to 3 times daily after a bowel movement. After improvement of the symptoms, treatment may be continued with one suppository daily.
