Do not put SANCUSO on areas that have been treated with creams, oils, lotions, powders or other skin products that could keep the transdermal patch from sticking well to the skin.2
SANCUSO should be applied 24-48 hours before chemotherapy and can be worn for up to 7 days depending on the duration of the chemotherapy regimen.2 The patch should be removed a minimum of 24 hours after completion of chemotherapy.2
SANCUSO may be affected by direct sunlight or exposure to sunlamps.2 While wearing the transdermal patch it must keep it covered, e.g. under clothing if there is a risk of exposure to sunlight or sunlamps.2 Continue to keep the application site covered for a further 10 days after removing the transdermal patch.2
Contact with water during bathing or showering will not change the way SANCUSO works. However, the transdermal patch may become partially unstuck. Wearing the transdermal patch in water for long periods should be avoided.2
There is no information on the effect on SANCUSO of activities such as strenuous exercise or the use of sauna or whirlpools; therefore, you should avoid these activities while wearing this transdermal patch.2
