It is for external use only. Clean and dry the affected area before applying this medicine. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application.

Avoid direct contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. You must inform your doctor if there is no improvement even after two weeks of treatment. Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking.
