Does Emclobal 0.05% Cream cause severe skin reactions?
Severe skin reactions are rare when using Emclobal 0.05% Cream. It is important to note that this medication is an anti-inflammatory drug used for treating skin diseases, reactions, and eczemas. However, it can trigger a reaction in people who have hypersensitivity to Emclobal 0.05% Cream. Using occlusive dressings (such as airtight or watertight bandages) after applying Emclobal 0.05% Cream can potentially worsen the situation and lead to skin reactions. It is important to leave the affected area open to avoid such issues, though the medicine itself might not cause a reaction but the added excipients in the medication may trigger a reaction in some cases. If you experience any skin reactions, inform your doctor immediately.

Can Emclobal 0.05% Cream be used on children?
Emclobal 0.05% Cream is not recommended for use in children under one year old. It also should not be used in older children and adolescents, as side effects are more common in these age groups.
