How to use Cordran Tape
The adhesive surface of the tape is covered with a protective paper liner that allows handling and trimming of the tape before applying it.
Only use as directed by your doctor. Do not use it for any other skin condition. Only use on your skin and do avoid contact with the eyes. Do not cover Cordran Tape with another bandage or wrap with an occlusive dressing unless your doctor has told you to do so.
Replace the tape after 12 hours unless otherwise instructed. Clean the skin and allow it to dry for 1 hour before applying new tape.
If the ends of the tape loosen they may be trimmed off and replaced with new tape.
Do not use it if your skin is thin where you want to apply it.
Do not bandage, cover, or wrap your skin where you have applied Cordran Tape unless your doctor has told you to do so.
Do not use it on your face, scalp, armpits, groin, or skin folds.
Do not use other corticosteroid products while using Cordran Tape.
Cordran Tape should only be applied to the skin. Do not take by mouth, apply near your eyes, or insert it.
Warnings
Cordran Tape contains flurandrenolide which is a highly potent, Class I corticosteroid that can be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream and cause reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression with the potential for glucocorticosteroid insufficiency, including Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria. Do not use for long periods and do not exceed the recommended dose. Periodic monitoring for HPA suppression may be required.
What other drugs will affect Cordran Tape
Cordran Tape is unlikely to interact with other medications you may take. But you should not use the tape with other topical or oral corticosteroids, because they may have an additive effect.
Tell your healthcare providers about all medicines you use, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products.
