How Taken:
Apply Dovonex exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these instructions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you. Wash your hands before and after applying this medication, unless you are using it to treat a hand condition. Clean and dry the area of skin where you will apply Dovonex. Apply the medication only to the affected area. Do not apply Dovonex to eyes, mouth, face, mucous membranes, open sores, or irritated skin. If you get medication on any of these areas, rinse it off with water. Dovonex is usually applied once or twice a day. Do not apply more Dovonex than is prescribed by your doctor. Never apply more than 100 grams in a week. It may take 2 weeks to see the effects of this drug. Do not stop using Dovonex if you do not see results immediately.

Warnings/Precautions:
Use of Dovonex Cream may cause transient irritation of both lesions and surrounding uninvolved skin. If irritation develops, you should discontinue using Dovonex Cream. Do not use this medication for any disorder other than that for which it was prescribed. Avoid using other topical products at the same time as Dovonex unless they are prescribed by your doctor. Some topical medicines may interfere with the effects or absorption of Dovonex. Avoid washing the area you are treating more than three times a day. Too much washing may cause your skin to become very dry or irritated. Avoid using harsh, abrasive, or irritating cleansers, perfumes, or cosmetics on the area you are treating.

Missed Dose:
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and apply only your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not double the dose to catch up.

Possible Side Effects:
Serious side effects are very rare. Stop using Dovonex and seek emergency medical attention if you experience an allergic reaction (shortness of breath; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, face, or tongue; or hives). You may experience some irritation of the skin, such as burning, itching, redness, swelling, dryness, or peeling while you are using Dovonex. These side effects sometimes lessen with continued treatment. Notify your doctor if you experience these side effects. If you notice a change in your skin color, contact your doctor. Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
