This document outlines essential safety information regarding the use of this medication. Please read the details carefully and consult your healthcare provider with any questions or concerns.

• Altered Stress Hormone Levels: Prolonged use or the application of amcinonide over large areas, as well as the use of excessive amounts, can lead to increased absorption into the body. This is particularly a concern in children, who are more susceptible to absorbing higher levels of the medication through the skin. This excessive absorption may reduce the production of certain stress hormones, which are crucial for various bodily functions. Typically, hormone levels normalize after discontinuing the medication, but severe cases may require further medical intervention. To mitigate these risks, adhere strictly to your healthcare provider’s instructions:
  • Use amcinonide only as prescribed.
  • Avoid over-application or extended use beyond the prescribed duration.
  • Do not cover the treated area with tight clothing or dressings unless specifically directed by your provider.
