INDICATIONS
For relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations
of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses, particularly
dry, scaling localized lesions.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Occlusive dressings may be used for the management of
psoriasis or recalcitrant conditions.
If an infection develops, the use of Cordran Tape and
other occlusive dressings should be discontinued and appropriate
antimicrobial therapy instituted.
Replacement of the tape every 12 hours produces the lowest
incidence of adverse reactions, but it may be left in
place for 24 hours if it is well tolerated and adheres
satisfactorily. When necessary, the tape may be used at
night only and removed during the day.
If ends of the tape loosen prematurely, they may be trimmed
off and replaced with fresh tape.
The directions given below are included on a separate
package insert for the patient to follow unless other-wise
instructed by the physician.
APPLICATION OF CORDRAN TAPE
IMPORTANT: Skin should be clean and
dry before tape is applied. Tape should always be cut,
never torn.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
- Prepare skin as directed by your physician or as follows:
Gently clean the area to be covered to remove scales,
crusts, dried exudates, and any previously used ointments
or creams. A germicidal soap or cleanser should be used
to prevent the development of odor under the tape. Shave
or clip the hair in the treatment area to allow good
contact with the skin and comfortable removal. If shower
or tub bath is to be taken, it should be completed before
the tape is applied. The skin should be dry before application
of the tape.
- Remove tape from package and cut a piece slightly
larger than area to be covered. Round off corners.
- Pull white paper from transparent tape. Be careful
that tape does not stick to itself.
- Apply tape, keeping skin smooth; press tape into place.
REPLACEMENT OF TAPE: Unless instructed
otherwise by your physician, replace tape after 12 hours.
Cleanse skin and allow it to dry for 1 hour before applying
new tape.
IF IRRITATION OR INFECTION DEVELOPS, REMOVE TAPE AND
CONSULT PHYSICIAN.
