Frequently asked questions
Can Hinate Cream be used for a long time?
No, Hinate Cream should not be used for prolonged periods. It is generally prescribed for two consecutive weeks only. However, treatment duration may vary for chronic inflammatory conditions that require longer-term therapy. Please consult your physician before starting or continuing the medication.
Does Hinate Cream cause severe skin reactions?
Although rare, serious skin reactions are possible with Hinate Cream use. Hinate Cream is an anti-inflammatory drug applied to treat various skin conditions such as eczema and inflammatory skin diseases. However, individuals with pre-existing hypersensitivity may experience more frequent skin reactions. It's important to keep the affected area exposed after application to avoid occlusive dressings (tightly sealed dressings) which might exacerbate reactions. The medication itself doesn't always cause reactions but the added excipients in the formula can lead to these complications. If you experience any skin reactions, notify your doctor immediately.
Can Hinate Cream be used on the face?
No, Hinate Cream should not be applied directly to the face or other sensitive areas like armpits, groin, and regions with tissue atrophy. In exceptional circumstances, a doctor might recommend its use after consulting you. If you do apply it to your face, limit the application to a maximum of five days. Consult your doctor before using any medication on the face.
Can Hinate Cream be used on children?
Hinate Cream is not recommended for use in infants under one year old. It's also not suitable for older children and adolescents, as side effects are more prevalent in them. A child's immune system is more vulnerable, which can make them prone to other diseases and atrophy, so it's not advisable to use this medication on a child. The doctor may offer an alternative treatment plan in rare cases. Always consult with your doctor before starting the medication for any age group.
Can we use Hinate Cream in infections?
Hinate Cream is not an antimicrobial or antifungal agent. It's a corticosteroid that suppresses the immune system and increases the risk of bacterial infection. This medication should not be used for treating bacterial or fungal infections, as it can worsen existing conditions and potentially lead to secondary infections. If your inflammation develops, seek medical advice immediately. Your doctor may recommend alternative treatments depending on the infection.
Can I stop taking Hinate Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue using Hinate Cream prematurely even if you start feeling better. The medication's effects might last longer before you feel completely well. Stopping the treatment early may worsen your condition.
Does Hinate Cream cause dangerous skin reactions?
Although rare, there is a chance of experiencing local skin reactions with Hinate Cream. As an anti-inflammatory drug, it's primarily used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema and inflammatory dermatitis. However, individuals with hypersensitive skin may experience more severe reactions. Keeping the affected area exposed after application prevents occlusive dressings (tightly sealed dressing) which could lead to irritation or other adverse reactions. If not caused by the medication itself, sometimes it's caused by the added excipients in the formula. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice any skin reaction.
