Do NOT use Verdeso Foam if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Verdeso Foam

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Verdeso Foam:

Some medical conditions may interact with Verdeso Foam. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Verdeso Foam. Because little, if any, of Verdeso Foam is absorbed into the blood, the risk of it interacting with another medicine is low.

Ask your health care provider if Verdeso Foam may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Verdeso Foam:

Use Verdeso Foam as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

• Wash your hands before using Verdeso Foam.


• Shake well before each use.


• Hold canister upside down to dispense the medicine. Apply the smallest amount necessary to cover the entire affected area with a thin layer of medicine as directed by your doctor. Gently rub the medicine in until it is evenly distributed.


• If you are using Verdeso Foam on your face, do NOT dispense it directly onto your face. Dispense it into your hands, and then gently massage onto your face until the medicine disappears.
