CompositionDosetil Cream is used to manage inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. When applied to the affected area, it helps reduce redness, itching, swelling, and irritation by calming the local immune response in the skin.
By restoring the skin barrier and controlling inflammation, this cream provides relief from chronic skin rashes and discomfort. Regular use as advised supports healing and improves skin comfort.
Dosetil Cream is used to manage mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema) in adults and children above 3 months of age. It helps soothe itching, redness, and skin irritation by reducing local inflammation. The cream provides targeted relief when applied to affected areas.
Follow these guidelines while using Dosetil Cream:
Make sure that the affected skin area is clean and dry before application.
Apply a thin layer of the prescribed amount of cream to the affected areas as directed by the doctor.
Rub the cream gently into the skin until it is completely absorbed.
Avoid applying the cream on your face, groin, or underarms unless instructed by your doctor.
It's crucial not to use this medicine for longer than four weeks without consulting your doctor.
Dosetil Cream is applied topically.
Dosetil Cream may cause burning, itching, dryness, acne-like eruptions, folliculitis, skin lightening, or rashes around the mouth with prolonged application.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Dosetil Cream. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:
Dryness of skin: You can apply a moisturiser after using Dosetil Cream to help manage this.
Burning at the application site: Applying Dosetil Cream in smaller amounts may help reduce this burning sensation.
Dosetil Cream contains Desonide (0.05 %) and works on your body in the following ways:
Inducing phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins: Desonide initiates the production of these specific proteins that inhibit an enzyme called phospholipase A2. This enzyme is involved in releasing arachidonic acid, a substance that causes inflammation.
Controlling biosynthesis of inflammatory mediators: By reducing the release of arachidonic acid, desonide controls the production of potent inflammatory substances in your body.
Reduction of inflammation: Through these biochemical actions, desonide effectively reduces inflammation on the skin caused by atopic dermatitis.
Dosetil Cream should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the unborn child. It's wise to discuss this with your doctor before starting to use this cream.
It is uncertain if Dosetil Cream could lead to detectable quantities in breast milk after topical application. Hence, caution is advised when using this medication while breastfeeding. Consult your doctor for guidance.
Interactions between Dosetil Cream and alcohol are rarely seen, as it is a topical product. However, always consult your doctor for advice.
Caution is recommended while using Dosetil Cream if you have liver health issues. Discuss your liver condition with your doctor before starting on this medication.
Similar to liver health, caution is advised when using Dosetil Cream if you have kidney problems. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.
As a topical cream, Dosetil Cream does not affect your ability to drive or operate machinery.
If you're allergic to desonide or any other ingredients in Dosetil Cream, avoid using it. Allergic reactions may include itching, redness, or swelling at the site of application.
Dosetil Cream should not be given to children under 3 months of age. Always consult your doctor before giving this medicine to a child.
The safety and effectiveness of Dosetil Cream in patients over 65 years of age has not been established. Older patients may be more susceptible to side effects and should apply this medicine under medical supervision.
Dosetil Cream interacts with the following medicines:
Bendroflumethiazide: The risk or severity of electrolyte imbalance can be increased when Desonide is combined with Bendroflumethiazide.
Clindamycin: The metabolism of Clindamycin can be increased when combined with Desonide.
Dosetil Cream being a topical application, no known interactions exist between this cream and any foods or beverages.
Dosetil Cream interacts with the following diseases:
Liver Disease: If you have liver disease, you should be vigilant when using Dosetil Cream. The liver metabolises this cream's active ingredient, desonide. Therefore, impaired liver function may alter desonide metabolism and potentially increase systemic absorption leading to unwanted side effects.
Endocrine Disorders: Conditions such as Cushing's syndrome or adrenal insufficiency might be exacerbated by corticosteroids like desonide in Dosetil Cream due to systemic absorption, especially with prolonged use or application over large surface areas.
The daily application of Dosetil Cream should be as recommended by your doctor. This prescription might change depending on factors like how severe your condition is and how well you respond to the medication. Always follow the prescribed dosage and never exceed it without consulting your doctor.
On the rare occasion that you accidentally apply more Dosetil Cream than advised, you could experience some common side effects such as skin irritation or redness. If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor.
If you've missed applying your regular dose of Dosetil Cream, apply it as soon as you recall. But if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and continue with your regular schedule. Never increase your dosage without a consultation with your doctor.
Keep Dosetil Cream at room temperature between 20°C to 25°C.
Do not freeze the medicine.
Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Make sure the tube is tightly closed after use.
Store it in a place where children cannot reach.
If you have atopic dermatitis, try to avoid food allergens known to trigger your symptoms. Common culprits may include eggs, milk, peanuts, wheat or soy.
Keeping your skin moisturised can help manage atopic dermatitis. Regularly apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser to help maintain skin hydration.
