How to use Diprosone Cream
Once to twice daily. In most cases a thin film of Diprosone Cream should be applied to cover the affected area twice daily. For some patients adequate maintenance therapy may be achieved with less frequent application.
Diprosone Cream is especially appropriate for moist or weeping surfaces and the ointment for dry, lichenifield or scaly lesions but this is not invariably so.
Control over the dosage regimen may be achieved during intermittent and maintenance therapy by using Diprobase Cream or Ointment, the base vehicles of Diprosone Cream and Ointment. Such control may be necessary in mild and improving dry skin conditions requiring low dose steroid treatment.
