The use of occlusive dressings will greatly increase the amount of drug your body absorbs. If you do use an occlusive dressing, do not use it for more than 12 hours a day. Do not use halcinonide topical to treat any area of the body that it is not prescribed for. This could be very dangerous. Use halcinonide topical cautiously, and only under the supervision of a doctor, to treat a child.
Children are much more sensitive to the effects of halcinonide topical.
Halcinonide is a topical steroid. It reduces or inhibits the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling. Halcinonide is used to treat the inflammation caused by a number of conditions such as allergic reactions, eczema, and psoriasis. Halcinonide topical may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide. Return to your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it gets worse.
