HOW TO USE ULTRAVATE :
Clean and dry the affected area before applying the medication.

wrap or cover the area treated unless you are instructed to
do so by your doctor. Do not use plastic pants or tight fitting
diapers on children
being treated with this medication in the diaper area. Avoid

so by your doctor.
ULTRAVATE SIDE EFFECTS:
This medication may cause burning, stinging, itching or redness
when first applied to the skin. This should disappear in a
few days as your body adjusts to the medication. If these
effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor. Skin infections
can become worse when using this medication. Notify your doctor

unlikely to occur but report promptly the following side effects:
unusual weakness, weight loss, nausea/vomiting,
fainting, dizziness. If you notice other effects not listed

infection or sores present on the area to be treated. Though
very unlikely, it is possible this medication will be absorbed
