be necessary.
Treatment beyond two weeks is not recommended and the total dosage should not exceed 50 grams (50 ml) per week because of the potential for the drug to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis {see Warnings and Precautions 5.1].Do not use with occlusive dressings unless directed by a physician.
