Diprosone is a topical corticosteroid cream that contains the active ingredient betamethasone dipropionate. This medication works by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness associated with various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis. Diprosone is suitable for adults and children over one year old who are dealing with these skin conditions.
About Diprosone
Dosage and usage
For Diprosone cream, apply a thin layer to the affected area once or twice daily as directed by your healthcare provider. It is important not to use more than the recommended amount to avoid potential side effects. Do not cover the treated area with a bandage unless instructed by your doctor. If you experience no improvement after a few weeks of use, consult your healthcare provider. If you accidentally use too much Diprosone, contact a healthcare professional.
What Diprosone contains
Each gram of Diprosone cream contains 0.643 mg of betamethasone dipropionate as the active ingredient. The excipients include chlorocresol, cetomacrogol 1000, cetostearyl alcohol, white petrolatum, phosphoric acid, sodium hydroxide, and purified water.
Side effects
Common side effects of Diprosone may include burning, itching, irritation, or dryness at the application site. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include skin thinning, stretch marks, or changes in skin color. If you experience any severe allergic reactions or notice symptoms of skin infection, seek medical help promptly.
Precautions
Do not use Diprosone if you are allergic to betamethasone or any other ingredients in the cream. Avoid using this medication on broken or infected skin without consulting your doctor. Inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, especially if you have diabetes or immune system problems. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before using Diprosone. It is essential to follow your healthcare provider's advice if you have heart conditions or are taking medications that may interact with Diprosone.
