Valisone Directions:

This medication is available in topical variants such as cream, lotion, and ointment. The lotion variant is used for scalp lesions. Before applying either form of this topical medication, clean and dry the affected skin area thoroughly. If using the cream or ointment, apply enough of it to completely cover the affected area with a thin film and gently rub it into the skin. If applying the lotion, apply a thin layer of the medication to the affected area and gently rub it into the skin until it is fully absorbed. Wash your hands thoroughly after using Valisone to avoid accidentally transferring the medication to other parts of your body or other people. Do not cover the affected area with a bandage or other dressing unless directed to do so by your doctor. Avoid getting the medication in your eyes, mouth, or nose to prevent serious side effects. If you wash or shampoo your hair, it should be dried before applying the scalp lotion. This medication is usually applied to the affected area once daily in the morning or twice daily (in the morning and at night) as directed by the doctor. The safety and efficacy of topical Valisone depend on several factors, such as the condition being treated, the patient's medical history, and the proper use of the medication. Also, the half-life of topical betamethasone valerate is not well established. Therefore, Valisone should only be used as directed by your doctor and not for longer than the prescribed duration. Store either form of this topical medication at room temperature and keep it away from sunlight and moisture and out of children's reach.
