Indications
Mécanisme d'action
Anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive topical corticosteroid. Anti-inflammatory action is unclear but is thought to involve induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins (lipocortins), which limit release of arachidonic acid and thus prostaglandin and leukotriene biosynthesis.
Posologie adulte habituelle (résumé de la notice)
Scalp psoriasis (scalp oil): wet or dampen hair and scalp, apply a thin film topically to the scalp, massage well and cover with the supplied shower cap; leave on overnight or a minimum of 4 hours, then wash off with regular shampoo and rinse thoroughly
Grossesse et allaitement
- Grossesse
- Safe Applies to skin products, ear drops and eye implants. Little is absorbed. Topical steroids are acceptable in pregnancy: use the smallest amount on the smallest area for the shortest time; avoid occlusion. Eye implants give negligible blood levels.
- Allaitement
- Safe Topical use gives little absorption; LactMed: short-term use is unlikely to affect the infant, and ear drops or eye implants pose negligible risk. Do not apply to the nipple; if used on the breast, use a cream and wipe off before feeds.
Effets indésirables signalés
- Burning
- Itching
- Irritation
- Dryness
- Folliculitis
- Acneiform eruptions
Contre-indications

Précautions particulières
- Systemic absorption can cause reversible HPA axis suppression, Cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia and glucosuria; evaluate periodically patients using large areas or occlusion.
- Children may be more susceptible to systemic toxicity because of larger skin surface to body mass ratios.
- Contains 48% refined peanut oil; use caution in peanut-sensitive individuals.
Informez votre pharmacien ou votre médecin en cas de grossesse ou d'allaitement, de maladie rénale ou hépatique, d'allergies, ainsi que de tout autre médicament ou complément que vous prenez.
