Tiamol

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Tiamol (Fluocinonide).

Infection: You may experience a secondary infection while using a topical (skin-applied) corticosteroid. If this is the case, contact your doctor for instruction regarding treatment.

Internal absorption: Significant internal absorption may result when steroids are applied over large areas of the body. To minimize this possibility when long-term therapy is anticipated, your doctor may instruct you to periodically interrupt treatment or to treat one area of the body at a time.

Medical conditions: People with stasis dermatitis and other skin diseases associated with impaired circulation should discuss with their doctor how Tiamol (Fluocinonide) may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Tiamol (Fluocinonide), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Medical treatment: Inform all your doctors that you have used a corticosteroid.

Response to treatment: If your skin condition does not improve within a few days to a week, contact your doctor.

Thinning of skin: Prolonged use of topical corticosteroid products may produce thinning of the skin and of tissues under it. If this is noticed, call your doctor.

Pregnancy: Tiamol (Fluocinonide) should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking Tiamol (Fluocinonide), contact your doctor immediately.

Breast-feeding: Corticosteroids such as Tiamol (Fluocinonide) may pass into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking Tiamol (Fluocinonide), it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
