Frequently asked questions
How long can I use Seraclob 0.05% Cream?
No, Seraclob 0.05% Cream should not be used for longer than two consecutive weeks. However, for chronic (long-term) inflammatory conditions, the treatment duration may be extended after consulting with a physician. Always seek guidance from your healthcare provider before initiating or continuing use.
Are there severe skin reactions associated with using Seraclob 0.05% Cream?
While severe skin reactions are uncommon, they may occur with Seraclob 0.05% Cream. This medication is designed to treat inflammatory conditions of the skin, including eczema and psoriasis. However, hypersensitivity to the cream can trigger these reactions in some individuals. It's important to keep the affected area exposed after applying Seraclob 0.05% Cream as occlusive dressings may exacerbate any pre-existing skin reactions. It is essential to inform your physician immediately if you experience any symptoms of a skin reaction.
Can I use Seraclob 0.05% Cream on my face?
No, Seraclob 0.05% Cream should not be used on the face or other areas like the armpits (axillae), groin, or areas with atrophy (tissue wasting). These areas require specialized treatment and the medication's potential for exacerbating the condition is significant. Consult your physician if you need to apply it to these areas; in specific circumstances, a doctor might prescribe limited use of Seraclob 0.05% Cream on the face, with maximum application duration of five days. Please remember that this treatment should be conducted under the guidance of your healthcare provider.
Is it safe to use Seraclob 0.05% Cream on children?
No, Seraclob 0.05% Cream is not recommended for infants or children under one year of age. It's also not suitable for older children and adolescents as the side effects are more common in these age groups. There is a higher risk of suppressed immunity in children, making them susceptible to other diseases. The doctor will only consider this medication in specific circumstances with careful monitoring. Treatment duration should be limited, with weekly reviews from your doctor.
Can I use Seraclob 0.05% Cream for infections?
No, Seraclob 0.05% Cream is not an antimicrobial or antifungal agent. It's a corticosteroid that suppresses the immune system and may increase the risk of infections. Bacterial infections may worsen if the infection gets covered with a dressing after using Seraclob 0.05% Cream. If your inflammatory lesions become infected, spread of infection occurs, contact your doctor immediately. The doctor will replace Seraclob 0.05% Cream and prescribe appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
When can I stop taking Seraclob 0.05% Cream?
Do not stop using Seraclob 0.05% Cream before the complete treatment course. Even if you start feeling better, continue taking the medication as prescribed and finish the entire course. Stopping treatment early may lead to a relapse of your symptoms.
Does Seraclob 0.05% Cream cause dangerous skin reactions?
Local skin reactions are rare with Seraclob 0.05% Cream, but they can happen in individuals who are hypersensitive to the medication or those using occlusive dressings which may exacerbate existing skin conditions.
