Additional, specific therapy is required in bacterially infected skin diseases and/or in fungus infections.
If the skin dries out excessively under protracted use of Advantan cream, a switch should be made to the fattier formulation (e.g. Advantan ointment).
Advantan should not be allowed to come into contact with the eyes when being applied to the face.
If rosacea or perioral dermatitis is present, Advantan must not be applied to the face.
No impairment of adrenocortical function has been observed either in adults or in children on large-area (40% to 60% of the skin surface) or even occlusive treatment with Advantan. Nevertheless, the duration of use should be kept as brief as possible on treatment of large areas.
