Esperson Dosage/Direction for Use

Dosage is generally based on the following guidelines and is determined by the physician in accordance with individual requirements:
Esperson Ointment should be applied sparingly to affected skin areas once or twice, or if necessary three times daily.
If possible, Esperson Ointment should be rubbed gently into the skin. After skin lesions have improved, the frequency of application may be reduced, for example, from twice to one daily.
Application over large areas (more than approximately 10% of body surface) and prolonged therapy (longer than approximately 4 weeks) should be avoided.
Both carry a risk of systemic corticosteroid effects; in addition, prolonged therapy is also associated with a risk of more pronounced local effects (see Adverse Reactions).
Dosage mistakes: Short-term deviations from the scheduled dose (application over too large an areas or in excessive amounts, too frequent application, or a single missed dose) will not lead to harmful effects. Please consult the physician if these occur.
