When changing from a steroid ointment, such as Elocom, to an ointment with antibacterial action, it is important to follow the doctor's instructions and adapt the treatment to the specific situation of the patient.
A break between the application of different preparations to the skin is usually recommended. It is necessary to maintain a minimum of 1 hour break in application to allow proper absorption of the drug. The exact duration of the break in this particular case will depend on the type of ointment and the clinical situation.
