            Contraindications

            Hypersensitivity

            Hepatic insufficienty

            Cautions

            Chronic topical corticosteroid therapy may interfere with growth and development in children

            Children may absorb proportionally larger amounts of topical corticosteroids and thus be more susceptible to systemic toxicity

            External use only

            Use on extensive surface area or with occlusive dressing may increase systemic absorption and possibly toxicity

            Kaposi's sarcoma reported with prolonged corticosteroid therapy

            Children may exhibit greater susceptibility to corticosteroid-induced HPA axis suppression and Cushing's syndrome due to larger skin surface area to body weight ratio

            Peripheral neuropathy may occur with prolonged use of high doses

            Optic neuritis may occur with prolonged use of high doses; avoid long term therapy

            Peripharal neuropathy may occur with prolonged use of high doses; avoid long term therapy

            Use caution in patients with thyroid disease

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.
