Precautions:

Discontinue use if irritation, sensitivity or other reaction develop and institute appropriate treatment. Corticosteroid applied to the skin can be absorbed in sufficient amount to produce systemic effects such as hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression, manifestation of Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycaemia, and glucosuria. Thus suitable precautions should be taken during prolonged treatment, when treating extensive body surface areas, when using of occlusive technique and when treating children (because of a larger skin surface area of bodyweight ratio).
