How to use Atralin
Do not take by mouth. Atralin is for use only on the skin. Do not use this medicine on open wounds or on sunburned, windburned, dry, chapped, or irritated skin.
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not use this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Wash your hands before and after applying Atralin. Wash your skin with mild, non-medicated soap and dry your skin gently. Apply once a day before bedtime.
Squeeze a small amount of gel (about the size of a pea) on your fingertip. Apply Atralin Gel , using a thin layer to cover the entire affected area. Smooth the gel into your skin.
Do not put Atralin Gel, near your mouth, eyes, on the corners of your nose, or on open sores. Spread the gel away from these areas when putting the gel on your skin.
Do not use more Atralin Gel than your doctor has prescribed. Do not use the gel more often than your doctor has told you. Using too much gel may irritate or increase the irritation of your skin, and will not give faster or better results.
You may not see improvement right away. Atralin Gel may work better for some patients than for others.
Do not wash the treated area for at least 1 hour after applying Atralin. Avoid the use of other skin products on the treated area for at least 1 hour following an application.
Atralin should be used as part of a complete skin care program that includes avoiding sunlight and using an effective sunscreen and protective clothing.
Use this medication for the full prescribed length of time, even if you think it is not working.
It may take up to several weeks before you notice improvement in your skin. Keep using the medication as directed and tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve. If you are using Atralin to treat acne, your condition may get slightly worse for a short time when you first start using the medication.
Call your doctor if skin irritation becomes severe or if your acne does not improve within 8 to 12 weeks.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
Atralin gel is flammable. Do not use near high heat or open flame. Do not smoke until the gel has completely dried on your skin.
Warnings
Avoid exposure to sunlight or artificial UV rays (sunlamps or tanning beds). Atralin can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight and sunburn may result. Use a sunscreen (minimum SPF 15) and wear protective clothing if you must be out in the sun. Avoid getting Atralin in your eyes, mouth, and nose, or on your lips. If it does get into any of these areas, wash with water. Do not use Atralin on sunburned, windburned, dry, chapped, irritated, or broken skin. Also avoid using this medication in wounds or on areas of eczema. Wait until these conditions have healed before using Atralin.
Use this medication for as many days as it has been prescribed for you even if you think it is not working. It may take weeks or months of use before you notice improvement in your skin. If you are using Atralin to treat acne, your condition may get slightly worse for a short time when you first start using the medication. Call your doctor if skin irritation becomes severe or if your acne does not improve within 8 to 12 weeks.
Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.
What other drugs will affect Atralin
Do not use skin products that contain benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol, or salicylic acid unless otherwise directed by your doctor. These products can cause severe skin irritation if used with Atralin.
