Contraindication

Hypersensitivity to prednicarbate or to any other component of the drug; the presence of a skin reaction to vaccination; bacterial skin symptoms (e.g. tuberculosis, syphilis), as well as skin symptoms of viral diseases (e.g. chickenpox or infectious manifestations of herpes simplex); perioral dermatitis, rosacea or acne rosacea.

Side effects

During treatment with Prednitop, undesirable side effects may occur - telangiectasia, skin redness and striae on the skin, rosacea-like dermatitis with or without skin thinning. Abrupt cessation of therapy may provoke deterioration of wound healing. Due to the immunosuppressive effect of GCS, latent or increased development of existing skin infections, skin discoloration, hypertrichosis may occur.

With prolonged use of the drug or its application to large areas of the skin, especially when applying airtight bandages, hormonal imbalance or the development of drug-induced Cushing's syndrome may occur as a result of the active substance entering the body.

Special instructions

Do not apply the drug to the areas around the eyes. If you did not apply the drug the previous time, do not double the dose. Continue treatment according to the doctor's instructions.

When applied to the skin around the eyes: regular contact of corticosteroids with the conjunctival sac may lead to increased intraocular pressure.

For bacterial and/or fungal skin infections: topical treatment of bacterial and/or fungal skin infections with Prednitop is possible only with drugs that have antibacterial or antifungal effects. Possible hypersensitivity to cetyl and stearyl alcohol should be taken into account.

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. During pregnancy, the drug can be used only if the benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. Do not apply the drug to large areas of skin. The active substance - prednicarbate - penetrates into breast milk, so breastfeeding should be avoided during treatment.

Children. Prednitop should only be used in infants if the benefit outweighs the potential risk. Prednitop use in infants may cause Cushing's syndrome due to increased metabolism.

The ability to influence the reaction rate when driving vehicles or working with other mechanisms. No data.
