WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
For external use only. Keep away from eyes. If irritation develops, the use of ALOQUIN should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted. Some discoloration of the skin, hair and fabrics may occur, but can be removed with normal cleansing and laundry. Not intended for use on infants or under diapers or occlusive dressings.
Iodoquinol may be absorbed through the skin and interfere with thyroid function tests. If such tests are contemplated, wait at least one month after discontinuance of therapy to perform these tests. The ferric chloride test for phenylketonuria (PKU) can yield a false positive result if Iodoquinol is present in the diaper or urine. Prolonged use may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms requiring appropriate therapy. Keep out of reach of children.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenisis and Impairment of Fertility
Long term animal studies have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of the effect on fertility of Iodoquinol. Mutagenicity studies have not been performed with Iodoquinol.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
Adverse reactions from topical use of ALOQUIN is expected to be low when used as directed, due to low concentration of Iodoquinol present in this topical gel.
To achieve the equivalent of a common daily oral dose of nearly 2,000 mg Iodoquinol, one will need to use more than 2 full tubes of 60 g ALOQUIN in a single application. Adverse reactions from oral form of Iodoquinol (nearly 2,000 mg daily) have been reported: various forms of skin eruptions, hives, itching, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, anusitis, fever, chills, headache, vertigo and enlargement of thyroid.
