How do I take Desowen?

Desowen is dispensed as a topical lotion, cream, or ointment that is applied to an affected area of the skin two or three times a day, depending on the strength of the prescription, the condition being treated, and the medical profile of the patient. To use, apply the recommended amount to the target area and gently massage it into the skin. Thoroughly wash your hands after use, unless it is a hand that is being treated. Do not cover the treatment site unless instructed to do so by a physician. Do not let the medication come in contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, mucus membranes, or vagina. Contact your doctor if your condition does not improve within 2 weeks.

What if I forget to take a dose of Desowen?

If you forget to apply Desowen at the prescribed time, do so as soon as you remember and are able. However, if it is almost time for the next application, skip the missed one and return to the regular schedule. Do not increase the amount used or alter the regimen to compensate for having missed a dose.
