How To Use Epifoam
Epifoam is for use on the skin only as directed. Do not use large amounts or use this more often than prescribed since the chance for side effects may be increased. Avoid contact with the eyes. Do not insert or use in vagina or anus. Use sparingly on children or elderly persons since they may be more sensitive to the effects of Epifoam when used in larger amounts. Do not bandage, wrap or cover the area treated unless you are instructed to do so by your doctor.
Epifoam Side Effects
Epifoam may cause temporary redness or minor irritation when first applied. If these symptoms continue or become worse inform your doctor. Notify your doctor if you develop swelling, itching or a rash where the medication is applied. Very unlikely to occur but report promptly the following side effects: unusual weakness, weight loss, nausea/vomiting, fainting, dizziness. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Epifoam Precautions
Tell your doctor your medical history, especially of: blood disorders, infections, liver disease, any allergies. Though very unlikely, it is possible Epifoam will be absorbed into your bloodstream. This may have undesirable consequences that may require additional corticosteroid treatment. This is especially true for children and for those who have used this for an extended period if they also have serious medical problems such as serious infections, injuries or surgeries. This precaution applies for up to one year after stopping use of Epifoam. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. Epifoam should be used only if clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. It is not known if Epifoam is found in breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
