Diflorasone Cream Medication Drug
Information
The following information is
intended to supplement, not substitute for, the expertise and
judgment of your physician, pharmacist or other healthcare
professional. It should not be construed to indicate that use of
the drug is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Consult
your healthcare professional before using this drug.
Online Diflorasone Cream Use Indication:
Diflorasone comes as a cream and an
ointment to apply to the skin. It is usually applied to the affected area
one to three times a day. To help you remember to use diflorasone, apply
it around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your
prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain
any part you do not understand. Use diflorasone exactly as directed. Do
not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your
doctor.
Wash or soak the affected area thoroughly
before applying the medicine, unless it irritates your skin. Then apply
the ointment or cream sparingly in a thin film and rub it in gently.
If you are using diflorasone on your face,
keep it out of your eyes.
If you are using diflorasone on a child's
diaper area, do not use tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants. Such use
may increase side effects.
Do not apply cosmetics or other skin
preparations on the treated area without talking with your doctor.
Do not wrap or bandage the treated area
unless your doctor tells you to. If your doctor tells you to wrap or
bandage the treated area, follow these instructions:
-
Soak the area in water or wash it well.
-
While the skin is moist, gently rub the medication into the affected
areas.
-
Cover the area with plastic wrap (such as Saran Wrap or Handi-Wrap). The
plastic may be held in place with a gauze or elastic bandage or adhesive
tape on the normal skin beside the treated area. (Instead of using
plastic wrap, plastic gloves may be used for the hands, plastic bags for
the feet, or a shower cap for the scalp.)
-
Carefully seal the edges of the plastic to make sure the wrap adheres
closely to the skin. If the affected area is moist, you can leave the
edges of the plastic wrap partly unsealed or puncture the wrap to allow
excess moisture to escape.
-
Leave the plastic wrapping in place as long as instructed by your
doctor. Usually plastic wraps are left in place not more than 12 hours
each day.
-
Cleanse the skin and reapply the medication each time a new plastic
wrapping is applied.

plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant
while using diflorasone, call your doctor.
