Picon Cream 10Gm

Picon Cream is used to relieve symptoms of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema) in patients aged 2 years and above. It helps reduce skin inflammation, redness, and itching associated with eczema and is often used when other treatments do not provide adequate relief.

To use Picon Cream properly, follow these steps:

• Make sure the area of skin to be treated is clean and dry.

• Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area.

• Gently rub the cream into the skin until it is completely absorbed.

• Discontinue use once the symptoms of atopic dermatitis have resolved.

• Consult your doctor for further advice.

Picon Cream is applied topically.

Picon Cream contains Pimecrolimus (1%), which works on the body in the following ways:

• T-cell Inhibition: Pimecrolimus selectively inhibits T-cell activation. T-cells are a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the immune system. By inhibiting these cells, pimecrolimus helps reduce the body's immune response.

• Cytokine Production Reduction: This medicine also suppresses the production and release of inflammatory cytokines from T-cells and mast cells. Cytokines are proteins that facilitate communication between cells during immune responses and stimulate the movement of cells towards sites of inflammation.

• Always store Picon Cream at room temperature, below 30°C.

• Keep it away from extreme heat and direct sunlight.

• Ensure the cream is stored in a dry place, avoiding excess moisture.

• Be sure to keep the tube tightly closed when not in use.

• Always remember to store Picon Cream out of reach of children.

• If you have atopic dermatitis, maintaining proper skin care is essential. Using a mild soap while bathing and applying a moisturiser afterwards can help keep your skin hydrated and reduce itchiness.

• Incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like fish or flaxseeds, in your diet can also be beneficial as they are known for their anti-inflammatory properties.
