If it is necessary to use prednicarbate during pregnancy, the smallest amount possible should be applied, for the shortest time necessary to treat the condition, under the supervision of a doctor. It is also not known whether prednicarbate passes into breast milk. Do not use prednicarbate topical without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Prednicarbate topical has not been approved for use in children younger than 18 years of age. Use prednicarbate topical cautiously, and only under the supervision of a doctor, to treat a child.
Children are much more sensitive to the effects of prednicarbate topical.
Apply the cream exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse or doctor to explain them to you. Wash your hands before and after each application, unless you are using prednicarbate topical to treat a hand condition. Apply a small amount to the affected area and rub it into your skin gently. Use caution on areas where your skin creases, such as armpits, knees, and elbows.
