ELOCON Lotion is a corticosteroid indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses in patients 12 years of age or older.
Apply a few drops of ELOCON Lotion to the affected skin areas once daily and massage lightly until it disappears.
Therapy should be discontinued when control is achieved. If no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, reassessment of diagnosis may be necessary [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Use in Specific Populations (8.4)].
Do not use ELOCON Lotion with occlusive dressings unless directed by a physician. Do not apply ELOCON Lotion in the diaper area if the patient requires diapers or plastic pants, as these garments constitute occlusive dressing.
ELOCON Lotion is for topical use only. It is not for oral, ophthalmic, or intravaginal use.
Avoid use on the face, groin, or axillae. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands after each application.
Topically applied ELOCON Lotion can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to produce systemic effects [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Store ELOCON Lotion, 0.1% at 25°C (77°F); excursions permitted to 15-30°C (59-86°F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature].
