Warnings
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity
Hepatic insufficienty
Cautions
Chronic topical corticosteroid therapy may interfere with growth and development in children
Children may absorb proportionally larger amounts of topical corticosteroids and thus be more susceptible to systemic toxicity
External use only
Use on extensive surface area or with occlusive dressing may increase systemic absorption and possibly toxicity
Kaposi's sarcoma reported with prolonged corticosteroid therapy
Children may exhibit greater susceptibility to corticosteroid-induced HPA axis suppression and Cushing's syndrome due to larger skin surface area to body weight ratio
Peripheral neuropathy may occur with prolonged use of high doses
Optic neuritis may occur with prolonged use of high doses; avoid long term therapy
Peripharal neuropathy may occur with prolonged use of high doses; avoid long term therapy
Use caution in patients with thyroid disease
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy Category: C
Lactation: not known whether either drug applied topically enters breast milk; use caution
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Images
