Warnings

Apply a thin film of cream to completely cover the affected and surrounding skin areas twice daily, in the morning and at night or as directed by your doctor. The cream is usually used for a period of 2 to 4 weeks depending on the condition being treated. Using the cream for more than 4 weeks is not recommended.

This cream should not be covered with bandages or other coverings after application. Do not use Lotriderm in or near the eyes.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the one above, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to use Lotriderm exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Lotriderm at room temperature and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

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 Lotriderm.

Inform all health professionals involved in your care that you have been using corticosteroids.

Eyes: Do not use Lotriderm in or around the eyes. Wash your hands and do not touch your eyes after applying Lotriderm. Absorption of Lotriderm around the eyes can increase the risks for developing Cataracts or Glaucoma. If you experience blurred vision or any other changes to your eyesight, contact your doctor as soon as possible.

Medical conditions: If you have stasis dermatitis and other skin conditions with reduced blood circulation, discuss with your doctor how Lotriderm may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Lotriderm, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Overuse of medication: Side effects caused by absorption into the blood stream are less common with betamethasone dipropionate - clotrimazole than some other medications containing corticosteroids. Long-term use of Lotriderm over large areas of the body or under dressings that don't breathe could lead to the absorption of betamethasone into the body's blood circulation, resulting in changes in hormone levels and other side effects. Discuss any concerns you may have with your doctor.

Thinning of skin: Prolonged use of topical (applied to the skin) corticosteroid products may produce thinning of the skin and tissues under it. If you notice this, call your doctor.

Pregnancy: Lotriderm should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking Lotriderm, contact your doctor immediately. Topical medications that contain corticosteroids should not be used by pregnant woman in large amounts or for prolonged periods of time.

Breast-feeding: It is not known if Lotriderm passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are using Lotriderm, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.

Children: The safety and effectiveness of using Lotriderm have not been established for children under the age of 12 years. The use of topical corticosteroids such as betamethasone by children should be limited to the least amount that will give good results. Chronic corticosteroid therapy may interfere with growth and physical development of children.
