Directions for use

• Adults, adolescents and children over 6 years of age: Apply a thin layer of Topalind to the affected areas two to three times a day and rub it in gently. Once improvement has set in, Topalind is usually only needed once a day or every second or third day. Even after the symptoms have subsided, continue using Topalind for a few more days to prevent the condition from flaring up again.
• Use in children under 6 years of age: You must only treat your child with Topalind if a doctor has prescribed it for them.
• Method of use: For use on the skin. Apply a thin layer of Topalind to the skin and rub in gently. When applying to the face, take care to ensure that Topalind does not get into the eyes.
• Duration of treatment: Topalind is intended for short-term use on the skin (max. 2 weeks) in adults, adolescents and children aged 6 years and over. The duration of treatment depends on the success of the therapy and should be continued for a few days after the symptoms have subsided to prevent a relapse. Treatment lasting longer than two weeks must only take place under medical supervision. The duration of treatment for children should be kept to a minimum. Please speak to your doctor or pharmacist if you feel that the effect of Topalind is too strong or too weak.
