Frequently asked questions
Can Saclo Topical Solution be used for a long time?

Does Saclo Topical Solution cause severe skin reactions?
Severe skin reactions are rare with Saclo Topical Solution. Saclo Topical Solution is an anti-inflammatory drug used to treat skin diseases, skin reactions, and eczemas. However, skin reactions can occur in individuals who are hypersensitive to Saclo Topical Solution. It is crucial to keep the affected area open after applying Saclo Topical Solution as occlusive dressings (air- and water-tight dressings) might lead to skin reactions. The medicine itself may not cause a reaction; however, added excipients with the medications could trigger a reaction in some cases. Notify your doctor immediately if you experience any skin reactions.
Can Saclo Topical Solution be used on the face?
No, Saclo Topical Solution should not be used on the face. Additionally, Saclo Topical Solution should not be applied to the armpits (axillae), groin, or if there is atrophy (tissue wasting) at the treatment site. In some exceptional cases, a doctor may approve its use; however, it should only be done after consultation with your physician and, ideally, application on the face is limited to a maximum of 5 days.
Can Saclo Topical Solution be used on children?
Saclo Topical Solution is not recommended for use in children under 1 year of age. It is also not recommended for use in older children and adolescents, as side effects are more common in them. In the pediatric population, there is an increased risk of immune suppression, which could make the child more vulnerable to other diseases and atrophy. Therefore, it is generally not recommended. However, in rare cases, a doctor might recommend this medication; however, treatment is typically limited to 5 days, and the therapy is reviewed weekly.
Can we use Saclo Topical Solution in infections?
Saclo Topical Solution is not an antimicrobial or antifungal agent. It is a corticosteroid medication. It should not be used for treating infections, as being a corticosteroid, it suppresses the immune system and increases the risk of infection. Bacterial infections are more prone to worsen if the infected area is covered with a dressing after using Saclo Topical Solution. In case the inflammatory lesions get infected or there's any spread of infection, consult your doctor immediately. Your doctor will withdraw the use of Saclo Topical Solution and provide appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
Can I stop taking Saclo Topical Solution when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue using Saclo Topical Solution and complete the full course of treatment even if your symptoms improve. Your symptoms may improve before your treatment is complete. Stopping Saclo Topical Solution prematurely can cause a return of your symptoms.
Does Saclo Topical Solution cause dangerous skin reactions?
Local skin reactions are rare with Saclo Topical Solution. Saclo Topical Solution is an anti-inflammatory drug used to treat skin diseases, skin reactions, and eczemas. However, skin reactions can occur in individuals hypersensitive to Saclo Topical Solution. It is crucial to keep the affected area open after applying Saclo Topical Solution as occlusive dressings (air- and water-tight dressings) could lead to skin reactions. If not caused by the medicine itself, sometimes reactions are also due to added excipients with the medications. Notify your doctor immediately if you experience any skin reactions.
