Cutaneous use.

Before administration, screw the pump spray on the bottle.

The veterinary medicinal product is then applied by activating the pump spray, from a distance of about 10 cm of the area to be treated.

The recommended dosage is 1.52 µg of hydrocortisone aceponate/cm² of affected skin per day. This dosage can be achieved with two pump spray activations over a surface to be treated equivalent to a square of 10 cm x 10 cm.

- For treatment of inflammatory and pruritic dermatoses, repeat the treatment daily for 7 consecutive days.

In case of conditions requiring an extended treatment, the responsible veterinarian should subject the use of the veterinary medicinal product to the risk-benefit assessment.

If signs fail to improve within 7 days, treatment should be re-evaluated by the veterinarian.

- For alleviation of clinical signs associated with atopic dermatitis, repeat the treatment daily for at least 14 and up to 28 consecutive days.

An intermediary control by the veterinarian at day 14 should be made to decide if further treatment is needed. The dog should be re-evaluated regularly with regard to HPA suppression or skin atrophy, both being possibly asymptomatic.

Any prolonged use of this product, to control atopy, should be at the benefit risk assessment of the responsible veterinary surgeon. It should take place after a re-evaluation of the diagnosis and also a consideration of the multi-modal treatment plan in the individual animal.

Presented as a volatile spray, this veterinary medicinal product does not require any massage.
