Directions for Use & Application Protocol

For topical cutaneous application only under veterinary supervision:

1. Cleanse & Dry: Gently clean the affected area with sterile saline or lukewarm water to clear dirt, dander, and loose crusts. Pat dry with sterile gauze.

2. Apply Thin Layer: Squeeze a small amount of Kiskin Ointment onto clean fingertips or a gloved hand. Spread a thin, uniform film over the lesion and its immediate margins.

3. Gentle Massage: Lightly smooth the ointment into the skin to encourage absorption without aggravating tender tissues.

4. Application Frequency: Apply 1 to 2 times daily, or strictly as directed by your veterinarian.

5. Prevent Licking (Crucial Step): Prevent your pet from licking the treated area for at least 15 to 30 minutes following application. Use an Elizabethan collar (e-collar) or distract the animal with a toy, walk, or meal.

6. Course Completion: Complete the full course prescribed by your veterinarian. Do not discontinue prematurely when surface symptoms resolve, as fungal and bacterial elements may persist beneath the stratum corneum.

Clinical Practice Note: Take a clear photograph of the lesion on Day 1, Day 4, and Day 7. Visual documentation provides objective tracking of erythema reduction, hair regrowth, and edge healing, helping your veterinarian assess whether to taper or adjust therapy.

Safety Warnings, Precautions & Contraindications

• External Dermal Use Only: For topical application on animal skin only. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and open deep puncture wounds.

• Potent Corticosteroid Caution: Contains Clobetasol Propionate. Avoid prolonged, uninterrupted use (exceeding 2 to 3 weeks) without veterinary reassessment, as this may lead to local epidermal thinning (cutaneous atrophy) or systemic steroid absorption.

• Feline Grooming Precaution: Cats groom constantly and have sensitive metabolic pathways. Take extra care to prevent the cat from licking the ointment, using an Elizabethan collar if needed.

• Not for Deep or Fresh Surgical Wounds: Steroids can slow wound healing. Do not use on fresh surgical incisions or deep puncture injuries without specific veterinary instruction.

• Storage: Store below 25°C in a dry place protected from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the tube tightly capped after each use. Keep strictly out of reach of children and domestic animals.
