Kenalog topical may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Do not cover treated skin areas with a bandage or other covering unless your doctor has told you to. If you are treating the diaper area of a baby, do not use plastic pants or tight-fitting diapers. Covering the skin that is treated with Kenalog can increase the amount of the drug your skin absorbs, which may lead to unwanted side effects. Follow your doctor's instructions.

- Emergency Contraception Will Cause an Abortion:
- Absolutely false. Emergency contraceptive pills have no action to terminate an already established pregnancy. The emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) is only effective if used before a pregnancy is established. The ECP has been referred to as the ‘abortion pill’, but it cannot cause an abortion if you are already pregnant. Most professional medical groups define pregnancy as beginning when the egg has finished implanting. The ECP prevents fertilization and has no affect on an egg already implanted into the wall of the uterus.
