Aklief Special Precautions

Redness, peeling, dryness, and stinging/burning may be experienced with the use of Aklief cream (see Side Effects). Talk to a doctor if these symptoms are experienced. It is recommended to apply a moisturizer from the initiation of treatment, which may help prevent such reactions. If symptoms do occur, the doctor may instruct to start using a moisturizer (if not already doing so), to use the cream less often, or to stop for a short time. If the symptoms persist despite these measures, it may be advised to stop the cream altogether.
Aklief should not be used on cuts, scrapes, abraded or eczematous skin.
Aklief should not come into contact with the eyes, eyelids, lips, or mucous membranes. If the product accidentally enters the eye, wash immediately and abundantly with warm water. Be careful when applying to sensitive areas of the skin such as the neck or armpits.
Caution should be exercised when Aklief cream is applied at the same time as other preparation used on the skin, including cosmetics (see also Interactions).
"Waxing" should not be used as a depilatory method on skin treated with Aklief.
If a reaction suggesting sensitivity to any component of the formula occurs, the use of Aklief should be discontinued.
Aklief should not be used on sunburned skin. Excessive exposure to sunlight, including sunlamps or phototherapy, should be avoided during the treatment. Use of sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 and protective clothing (such as a hat and a shirt) over treated areas is recommended when exposure cannot be avoided. If nevertheless the face, chest, shoulders or back become sunburned, stop medication on the affected area until the skin is healed.
Aklief contains propylene glycol (E1520) which may cause skin irritation.
Driving and using machines: Aklief has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.
