How should I use Clodan?

This medicine is for external use only. Do not take by mouth. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Wash your hands before and after use. Do not wet hair before using the shampoo. Move the hair and apply the shampoo directly to the affected area of the scalp. Gently rub in the shampoo and leave on the scalp for 15 minutes. Do not cover your head with a shower cap or bathing cap while the shampoo is on your scalp. After 15 minutes, add water, lather, and rinse your scalp completely. Do not get this medicine in your eyes. If you do, rinse out with plenty of cool tap water. Do not use your medicine more often than directed or for longer than ordered by your doctor or health care professional. To do so may increase the chance of side effects.

Talk to your pediatrician regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.

Elderly patients are more likely to have damaged skin through aging, and this may increase side effects. This medicine should only be used for brief periods and infrequently in older patients.

Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of Clodan contact a poison control center or emergency room at once. NOTE: Clodan is only for you. Do not share Clodan with others.

What if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses.
