foot syndrome has been observed in a few children receiving Clolar. What can be done about it?
Hand-foot syndrome generally is experienced initially as a tingling feeling a few days after initiation of therapy and progresses to redness, dryness, and possible flaking of skin on hands and/or feet. Symptomatic relief may be achieved by lightly applying moisturizers to minimize dryness and flaking. Steroids or antihistamines may also be considered. For more information, see the Clolar full prescribing information.
