Drug Interactions

  • Other Topical Steroids: Using another steroid cream or ointment at the same time raises the risk of skin thinning.
  • Occlusive Dressings: Covering the area tightly increases how much medicine the skin absorbs.
  • Other Topical Medicines: Applying different skin products on the same area at once can reduce effectiveness or cause irritation.
  • Live Vaccines: Extensive use over large areas may lower immune response to vaccines.

Risks and warnings

  • Skin Thinning: Prolonged use can thin the skin and cause stretch marks or visible blood vessels.
  • Prolonged Use: Do not use for longer than the prescribed duration without checking with your doctor.
  • Eye Contact: Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and open wounds.
  • Pregnancy: Use only if your doctor confirms it is necessary during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Children: Use in children only under close medical supervision due to higher absorption through thin skin.

Side Effects

  • Burning or stinging at the application site
  • Dryness or peeling of treated skin
  • Mild itching after application
  • Skin thinning with long term use
  • Stretch marks on repeated use over the same area
  • Folliculitis or small pimple like bumps
