Description
Diprosone Cream is a strong corticosteroid medication that is used to treat various skin conditions. It contains the active ingredient betamethasone dipropionate, a synthetic steroid that reduces inflammation, itching, and redness of the skin. Here are some key points about Diprosone Cream:
- Usage: It is used to relieve the redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort of many skin problems such as eczema, dermatitis, allergies, and rash. It is also used on the scalp and hairy parts of the body.
- Dosage: Diprosone cream should be applied thinly and evenly to the affected areas of skin once or twice a day to start with. As soon as the condition starts to improve, you should use it less frequently, as directed by your doctor.
- Side Effects: Burning, itching, irritation, or dryness at the application site may occur when this medication is first applied to the skin. This should disappear in a few days as your body adjusts to the medication. If any of these effects last or get worse, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
- Difference with Ointment: Diprosone Cream is especially appropriate for moist or weeping surfaces, and the ointment for dry, lichenified or scaly lesions.
Please note that you should always take this medication as directed by your healthcare provider. If you have any concerns about taking this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
