Nerisone Special Precautions

Please talk to the doctor before using Nerisone fatty ointment.
Additional specific therapy is required in bacterially infected skin diseases and/or in fungus infections.
On application in the face, care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes. Avoid application on the skin in the area around the eyes.
The excipients in Nerisone fatty ointment may reduce the effectiveness of latex condoms upon concomitant use when applied to the genital or anal region, due to the excipients paraffin. The tear resistance and effectiveness of the condoms may be reduced.
During prolonged use (over 4 weeks) and/or treatment of large skin areas (about 10% or more of the body surface), the possibility of absorption of the glucocorticoid cannot be excluded, especially under occlusive dressings. Extensive application of topical glucocorticosteroids to large areas of the body or for prolonged periods of time, in particular under occlusion, significantly increases the risk of side effects.
Tell the doctor if there is history of glaucoma. As known from systemic glucocorticoids, glaucoma may also develop from using local glucocorticoids (e.g. after large doses or extensive application over a prolonged period, occlusive dressing techniques, or application to the skin around the eyes).
The use of Nerisone fatty ointment may lead to positive results in doping tests.
Driving and using machines: No effects on the ability to drive and use machines have been observed.
Use in Pregnancy & Lactation: If pregnant or lactating, please inform the doctor.
Use in Children: In general, increased caution has to be applied in the use in children, as an increased uptake of the glucocorticoid through the infantile skin may occur.
