- <p><strong>4.2. Posology and method of administration</strong></p>
<p><u>Posology</u></p>
<p><em>Adults</em><br>
STAQUIS is to be applied as a thin layer twice daily to affected areas for the management of active disease. Once clinical effect is achieved, consider reducing application to once daily for maintenance treatment. The efficacy of STAQUIS for continuous twice daily application beyond 8 weeks has not been studied in a clinical trial (see section 5.1 – <em>please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information</em>).</p>
<p>STAQUIS can be used on all skin areas, including the face, neck, and intertriginous areas. The use of STAQUIS on the scalp has not been studied.</p>
<p><em>Pediatric population</em><br>
For children and adolescents (3 months to 17 years of age) the posology is the same as for adults. The safety and effectiveness of STAQUIS in pediatric patients below the age of 3 months have not been established.</p>
<p><em>Special populations</em><br>
Clinical trials with hepatic or renal impaired subjects have not been conducted. However, dosage adjustment is not expected to be necessary in subjects with mild to moderate hepatic impairment or in subjects with renal impairment.</p>
<p>Clinical studies of STAQUIS did not include sufficient numbers of subjects 65 years of age and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. However, dosage adjustment is not expected to be necessary in this patient population.</p>
<p><u>Method of administration</u></p>
<p>STAQUIS is for topical use only and not for oral, ophthalmic, or intravaginal use.</p>
<p>STAQUIS has not been studied under occlusion. However, clinical experience available for use of the ointment under occlusion (i.e., diapers/nappies or clothing) has not shown the necessity for any dosage adjustment.</p>
<p>Patients should be instructed to wash their hands after applying STAQUIS, unless it is their hands that are being treated. If someone else applies STAQUIS to the patient, they too should wash their hands after application.</p>
