Gracederm should be used as advised by the doctor or as per the instructions on the label of the medicine. Apply a thin layer of Gracederm to cover the affected areas. The dose would depend on the condition for which it is prescribed. Wash your hands after using Gracederm unless it is used for treating infection of the hands. Avoid contact with the eyes.

The dosage and duration of using Gracederm should be strictly according to the doctor’s advice. This medicine contains clobetasol which when used in higher doses and for longer periods can get absorbed in the blood and cause adrenal suppression and Cushings syndrome. It can cause weight gain, high blood pressure and rounding of the face. Its application can lead to a change in color of skin at the site of application. Veins beneath the skin become visible due to the thinning and weakening of the skin. There could be an increased hair growth. If you experience an increased severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.

Gracederm should not be used on the face and any contact with the eyes should be avoided. Do not apply a bandage or dressing on the area being treated, as this will increase absorption of the medicine and increase the risk of side effects. This medicine should only be used for the condition it is prescribed for. Do not use it for any other condition without consulting your doctor. Do not give it to other people even if their condition appears to be the same.

No, do not stop using Gracederm and complete the full course of treatment, even if you feel better. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured.
