Use in Children
Elocon is not recommended for children under the age of 2.
Do not use the lotion on your child’s scalp for more than 5 days.
Treated areas in children should not be covered with a bandage or plaster.
If you use the lotion on your child more often than you should, or on large areas of the body, it can affect some of their hormones, and this may affect their growth and development.
Before using Elocon
You should always follow these instructions when using Elocon:
This medicine should only be used on the scalp. Do not use it on any other part of your body.
You should check with your doctor before covering the treated areas with a bandage or plaster. Treated areas on the face should not be covered with a bandage or plaster.
You should not use a large amount of lotion on large areas of the body for a long time (for example every day for many weeks or months).
Do not use in or around the eyes, including eye-lids.
How to use Elocon
Usually for adults and children, a few drops of ELOCON Scalp Lotion should be applied to the affected area of the scalp once a day and gently massage until the lotion disappears.
The hair can be wet or dry when applying the lotion to the scalp.
If you use more Elocon than you should
If you (or somebody else) accidentally swallows the lotion, it should not produce any problems. However, if you are worried, you should see your doctor.
If you use the lotion more often than you should, or on large areas of the body, it can affect some of your hormones. In children, this may affect their growth and development.
If you have not used the lotion as you were told to do and have used it too often and/or for a long time, you should tell your doctor.
If you forget to use Elocon
If you forget to use your lotion at the right time, use it as soon as you remember, then carry on as before.
If you stop using Elocon
If you have been using the lotion for a long time and your scalp problem seems to have got better, you should not suddenly stop using the lotion. If you do, you may find that your scalp becomes red and you may notice stinging and burning. To avoid this, you should speak to your doctor who will gradually reduce how often you need to use the lotion until you stop treatment altogether.

If you experience a recurrence of your condition shortly after stopping treatment, within 2 weeks, do not restart using the lotion without consulting your prescriber unless your prescriber has previously advised you to do so. If your condition has resolved and on recurrence the redness extends beyond the initial treatment area and you experience a burning sensation, please seek medical advice before restarting treatment.
