What precautions should be taken while using Aristocort R Ointment?

Before using the ointment, tell your healthcare provider if you are:

• Using it over a large skin area or with an occlusive dressing
• Experiencing skin infections or irritation
• Pregnant or planning to become pregnant
• Breastfeeding or planning to nurse
• Treating a child with this medication

Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed into the bloodstream. This may cause temporary hormone suppression, Cushing’s syndrome, high blood sugar, or sugar in the urine. The risk increases with strong steroids, large treatment areas, prolonged use, or occlusive dressings. If hormone suppression occurs, your doctor may adjust or stop the medication.

Stopping corticosteroids suddenly may cause withdrawal symptoms. Children absorb more and are at higher risk of side effects. If skin irritation or infection develops, stop using the ointment and consult a doctor. Use an antifungal or antibacterial treatment if needed. If the infection does not improve, stop the corticosteroid until it is under control.

Use this medication exactly as prescribed. It is for external use only. Avoid eye contact. Do not use it for other conditions. Do not bandage or cover the treated area unless advised. Report any skin reactions, especially if using an occlusive dressing. Parents should avoid tight diapers or plastic pants on children treated in the diaper area.

During pregnancy, use this medication only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Corticosteroids have been harmful in animal studies. Avoid using large amounts or prolonged treatment.

It is unknown if topical corticosteroids pass into breast milk. Oral corticosteroids do, but in small amounts. Use with caution while nursing.

Children are more sensitive to corticosteroid side effects. They may develop growth delays, adrenal suppression, or increased pressure in the skull. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time to reduce these risks.

How should Aristocort R Ointment be stored?

Store Aristocort R Ointment at controlled room temperature 15°-30°C (59°-86°F).
