Can I use a higher than the recommended dose of Dermolam?
No, do not overuse Dermolam for long periods or on large areas of skin. It can cause over-absorption of the medicine into the body which may further lead to the thinning or weakening of the skin and other serious side effects. If you are experiencing increased severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop taking Dermolam when my symptoms are relieved?
