How should I take Cyclocort (amcinonide)?

How much medicine you take and how often you take it depend on many factors, including the condition being treated and the age and weight of the patient.

Do not stop taking Cyclocort (amcinonide) without checking with your health care provider. Patients with previous medical conditions should talk with their health care provider before taking Cyclocort (amcinonide). Do not take more medicine than prescribed unless advised to do so by your health care provider. Do not take any other over-the-counter or prescription medications without talking with your health care provider. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible.
