Motasone 0.1% warnings
When you use Motasone 0.1%, you inevitably absorb some of the medication through your skin and into the bloodstream. Too much absorption can lead to unwanted side effects elsewhere in the body. To keep this problem to a minimum, avoid using large amounts of Motasone 0.1% over large areas, and do not cover it with airtight dressings such as plastic wrap or adhesive bandages unless specifically told to by your doctor.
Remember, Motasone 0.1% is for external use only. Avoid getting it into your eyes. Do not use it to treat anything other than the condition for which it was prescribed.
If your skin becomes irritated, call your doctor.
If you have any kind of skin infection, tell your doctor before you start using Motasone 0.1%.
Do not use Motasone 0.1% cream or ointment on your face, underarms, or groin area unless your doctor tells you to.
If your condition doesn’t improve in 2 weeks, call your doctor.
If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. Motasone 0.1% should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefit outweighs the potential risk to the unborn child.
You should not use Motasone 0.1% while breastfeeding, since absorbed hormone could make its way into the breast milk and perhaps harm the nursing baby. If you are a new mother, you should contact your doctor, who will help you decide between breastfeeding and using Motasone 0.1%.

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Motasone 0.1% spray. Because, little, if any, of Motasone 0.1% spray is absorbed into the blood, the risk of it interacting with another medicine is low.
