ELOCON Lotion, 0.1%, is a medium potency corticosteroid indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid- responsive dermatoses. Since safety and efficacy of ELOCON Lotion have not been established in pediatric patients below 12 years of age, its use in this age group is not recommended. (see PRECAUTIONS - Pediatric Use).

Apply a few drops of ELOCON Lotion to the affected skin areas once daily and massage lightly until it disappears. For the most effective and economical use, hold the nozzle of the bottle very close to the affected areas and gently squeeze. Since safety and efficacy of ELOCON Lotion have not been established in pediatric patients below 12 years of age, its use in this age group is not recommended. (see PRECAUTIONS - Pediatric Use).

As with other corticosteroids, therapy should be discontinued when control is achieved. If no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, reassessment of diagnosis may be necessary.

ELOCON Lotion should not be used with occlusive dressings unless directed by a physician. ELOCON Lotion should not be applied in the diaper area if the patient requires diapers or plastic pants as these garments may constitute occlusive dressing.

ELOCON Lotion, 0.1%, is supplied in 30-mL (27.5 g) (NDC-0085-0854- 01) and 60-mL (55 g) (NDC-0085-0854-02) bottles; boxes of one.

Store ELOCON Lotion between 2° C and 30° C (36° F and 86° F).
