Source: FDA, National Drug Code (US)  Revision Year: 2021 

1. Indications and Usage

LOCOID Lotion is indicated for the topical treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in patients 3 months of age and older.

2. Dosage and Administration

Apply a thin layer to the affected skin areas two times daily and rub in gently. Do not apply LOCOID Lotion in the diaper area unless directed by a physician.

Discontinue therapy when control is achieved. If no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, reassessment of the diagnosis may be necessary. Before prescribing for more than 2 weeks, any additional benefits of extending treatment to 4 weeks should be weighed against the risk of HPA axis suppression and local adverse events. The safety and efficacy of LOCOID Lotion has not been established beyond 4 weeks of use [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Do not use LOCOID Lotion with occlusive dressings unless directed by a physician. Avoid use in the diaper area, as diapers or plastic pants may constitute occlusive dressings.

LOCOID Lotion is not for oral, ophthalmic, or intravaginal use.

16.2. Storage and Handling

Store at 25°C (77°F); excursions permitted to 15° to 30°C (59° to 86°F) [see USP Controlled Room Temperature]. Protect from freezing.
