How To Use

Before using this product, read the directions and check the label.

However, seeking your pharmacist or doctor’s counsel is very important, especially if you have an underlying condition or questions to ask.

Use the product on the outer part of your body, and do not let it come in contact with your nose, rectum, groin, mouth, or eyes to avoid irritation.

Massage the product into the affected part of your body and use it one to four times daily or as directed by your physician.

Leave it to dry before wearing your clothes. Do not apply the product or infected or broken skin except with the advice of your doctor.

To apply on the scalp, follow the directions on the product package.
Use enough water to rinse off after use to prevent a slippery bathroom that may lead to a fall.

Usually, the dosage is based on the severity of your condition and response to treatment.

Avoid using an excessive amount of this product at once. Instead, spread the use over a long period. Your condition may not improve fast, but your chances of being exposed to the side effects will be greatly reduced.

Always let your doctor know about your progress to help you as soon as possible if the condition worsens.
