Frequently asked questions
Can C Tasol 0.05% Cream be used for a long time?
No, C Tasol 0.05% Cream should not be used for longer than two consecutive weeks unless it is for chronic inflammatory conditions. Consult your physician before extending treatment duration.
Does C Tasol 0.05% Cream cause severe skin reactions?
Severe skin reactions are rare with C Tasol 0.05% Cream. While it is an anti-inflammatory drug, it is primarily used to treat skin diseases and eczemas, not infections. However, some individuals may experience skin reactions due to hypersensitivity or the presence of additional excipients in the medication. If you notice any signs of a skin reaction, such as redness, itching, burning sensation, or swelling, inform your doctor immediately.
Can C Tasol 0.05% Cream be used on the face?
No, C Tasol 0.05% Cream should not be applied to the face. In addition, it should not be used in armpits (axillae), groin, or areas with tissue atrophy at the treatment site. While in certain circumstances, the doctor may recommend its use after consultation, limited application on the face for a maximum of 5 days is preferable. Always consult your physician before any application.
Can C Tasol 0.05% Cream be used on children?
C Tasol 0.05% Cream is not recommended for use in children under one year of age. It is also not recommended for use in older children and adolescents due to increased side effect risks in this population group. The immune system of the pediatric population is more susceptible to suppression, which can make them more prone to other diseases or atrophy of tissue. In rare cases, a doctor may recommend it, but treatment is usually limited to 5 days with weekly review.
Can we use C Tasol 0.05% Cream in infections?
C Tasol 0.05% Cream is not an antimicrobial or antifungal agent and should not be used in infections. It's a corticosteroid that suppresses the immune system, increasing the risk of infection. Covering infected areas with C Tasol 0.05% Cream can worsen bacterial infections, as it also leads to the suppression of the immune system.
Can I stop taking C Tasol 0.05% Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop using C Tasol 0.05% Cream before completing the full course of treatment even if your symptoms improve. Stopping prematurely may lead to a resurgence of your symptoms.
Does C Tasol 0.05% Cream cause dangerous skin reactions?
Local skin reactions are rare with C Tasol 0.05% Cream. However, if you are hypersensitive to the medication or the added excipients used in the product, it can lead to skin reaction like redness, itching, burning sensation, or swelling. It is crucial to leave the affected area open after applying C Tasol 0.05% Cream and avoid using occlusive dressings as this can further increase the risk of a skin reaction. If you experience any adverse reactions, including skin reactions, inform your doctor immediately.
