How To Use Valu-Dryl Anti-Itch Top
This medication is for use on the skin only. Before
applying, clean the affected area with soap and water. Gently pat dry. Apply to

hands immediately after use, unless the area being treated includes the
hands.
Do not use on large areas of the body or apply more often
than directed. Your condition will not clear faster, but side effects may be
increased.

mouth. If the medication gets in these areas, rinse the area immediately with

after 7 days of treatment. If you think you may have a serious medical problem,
seek immediate medical attention.
