Q: How much OLUX-E^® Foam should I use?

A: The exact amount you need depends on the size of the affected area and the amount of hair covering it. Apply the smallest amount possible, since a little goes a long way. Use no more than one and a half capfuls (about the size of a golf ball) at any one application.

Q: How will OLUX-E^® Foam feel on my skin?

A: OLUX-E^® Foam disappears quickly after you apply it. The foam base is ethanol-free, so it feels soothing on excoriated skin (skin that may be cracked or open). And it spreads easily over multiple body areas.

Q: How long should I be using OLUX-E^® Foam?

A: Use OLUX-E^® Foam only as directed by your doctor. OLUX-E^® Foam should not be used for more than two consecutive weeks. If the affected area does not seem to be healing after two weeks, promptly contact your doctor for an evaluation

Q: What should I do if I miss a dose?

A: If you forget to use OLUX-E^® Foam at your scheduled time, apply it as soon as you remember, and then resume your regular schedule. If you remember at the time of your next application, apply only one dose and continue with your normal schedule. If you miss several doses, tell your doctor.

Q: What are the possible side effects associated with OLUX-E^® Foam?

A: In clinical trials, the most common adverse events associated with the use of OLUX-E^® Foam were skin thinning and other reactions at the application site.
