What is the most important information I should know about halobetasol topical?
 |
Do not use plastic bandages, dressings, or diapers that do not allow air to circulate to the area (occlusive dressings) unless your doctor directs you to do so. The use of occlusive dressings can greatly increase the amount of drug the body absorbs. If you do use an occlusive dressing, do not use it for more than 12 hours a day. |
Do not use halobetasol topical to treat any area of the body that it is not prescribed for. This could be dangerous.
 |
Halobetasol topical is not approved for use by children younger than 12 years of age. Do not use halobetasol topical to treat a child, unless it is prescribed by a doctor for the child. Children are more sensitive to the effects of halobetasol topical. |
Do not use more than 50 grams of halobetasol cream or ointment in one week or apply it for longer than 2 weeks in a row.
