How to take, course of use and dosage

Externally.

Akriderm GK cream is applied to the affected areas of the skin, lightly rubbing, a small amount 2 times a day. The duration of treatment is determined individually and depends on the nosological form and severity of the disease. With dermatomycosis of the feet, the average duration of treatment is 2-4 weeks. If clinical improvement does not occur in the near future, it is necessary to clarify the diagnosis or change the treatment regimen.

Overdose

Symptoms:  hypercorticism phenomena.

Treatment:  gradual withdrawal of the drug. Symptomatic therapy. If necessary, correction of electrolyte disturbances.

Special instructions

Avoid contact with eyes.

If a stable bacterial or fungal microflora appears, the drug should be discontinued and appropriate therapy should be prescribed.

Due to the fact that in children the area of the skin in relation to body weight is larger than in adults, and the epidermis is not sufficiently developed, with external use of the drug, it is possible to absorb proportionally more active substances and, therefore, there is a greater risk of developing systemic side effects.

Use the drug in children should be as short as possible and in compliance with all precautions.
