How do I take Olux-E?

Wash your hands and rinse with cool water before applying this medication. Shake thoroughly before use, and apply only as much Olux-E as required to cover the affected area with a thin layer of medication (often less than a cap-full). Turn the can upside-down and either spray directly onto the affected area or onto a cool surface. Be sure the surface is cooled and that the hand or fingers you use to apply the medication are cool; this prevents the medication from melting too early and ensures the right amount of medication is absorbed into your skin. Rub the medication in until it disappears.

Immediately discard excess foam that has been sprayed out and wash your hands. Do not bandage the affected area unless instructed to do so by your doctor. Do not apply this medication to certain areas of the body (e.g., the groin) unless instructed to do so by your doctor.

What if I forget to take a dose of Olux-E?

Apply a dose as soon as you remember it, unless it is almost time for your next dose. You should never apply double the amount of Olux-E to make up for the missed dose.

What happens if I overdose on Olux-E?

As a topical medication, overdose is not expected. If Olux-E has been ingested, call your local poison control center or seek medical assistance.

• You have any medical allergies, especially to any other corticosteroids.
