Allergies or sensitization: Stop using Pramox Hc and call your doctor if irritation, allergic reaction, or sensitization occurs. Inform all health professionals involved in your care that you have been using corticosteroids.

To minimize this possibility when long-term therapy is anticipated, your doctor may instruct you to periodically interrupt treatment.
Infected areas: Do not use Pramox Hc on infected lesions unless you are also using appropriate anti-infective medications as recommended by your doctor.
