Thanks for the clarification. Noritate cream is usually applied twice a day. However, some people whose condition is controlled to their satisfaction may try to use once a day instead of twice a day. Basically, you will evaluate your satisfaction with the treatment and decide for yourself to apply once or twice a day during the maintenance period (phase 2).

The same goes for the duration of the treatment. You can stop it whenever you want, and resume it as needed depending on your symptoms.

I hope I have been able to help you, I remain available if there is anything else.
