How do I take Taclonex?

Taclonex is dispensed as either an ointment or topical suspension that is applied directly to the skin or scalp. If using the suspension, shake the container rigorously before use. The ointment is typically applied daily to the affected area, in intervals prescribed by the doctor. When applying the Taclonex topical suspension to the scalp, follow the instructions on the packaging, or ask your healthcare provider for assistance. Do not use the medicine on other areas of the body unless directed by the doctor. Wash hands before applying the medication, rub the medication thoroughly into the affected area only, and then wash hands after application. Contact your doctor if the condition clears before all the medication has been used.

What if I forget to take a dose of Taclonex?

If you miss your scheduled application of Taclonex, apply it as soon as you remember and are able. If the time is near for the next scheduled application, forego the one missed and resume the regular pattern. Do not increase the quantity applied to make up for the one skipped.
