Suggested Use
Diprogenta Cream and Ointment are commonly used for:
- Treating inflammatory skin conditions with a high risk of bacterial infection.
- Conditions like eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and other corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses complicated by secondary bacterial infections.
- Reducing inflammation and controlling infection in affected skin areas.
Dosage and Application:
Adults and Children: Apply a thin layer of Diprogenta to the affected area 1-2 times daily, or as directed by a physician. Ensure the skin is clean and dry before applying. Avoid occlusive dressings unless prescribed, as these may increase the absorption of the medication.
Warning
- For External Use Only: Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and open wounds.
- If signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., rash, itching, or swelling) appear, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
- Long-term use, especially in large amounts, may lead to skin thinning, discolouration, or increased absorption of corticosteroids, potentially causing systemic side effects.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use only if prescribed by a healthcare provider.
- Prolonged use on large areas of skin can lead to increased absorption of both ingredients and may result in side effects.
- Potential side effects may include burning, itching, irritation, or dryness at the application site.
- Rarely, more serious side effects like thinning of the skin, stretch marks, or increased susceptibility to infections may occur with extended use.
Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions on the duration and frequency of application to minimize the risk of side effects.
