Why is Desowen prescribed?

Desowen (Desonide) is a topical steroid used to treat skin conditions that involve inflammation and itching.

What does it do?

Desowen helps alleviate swelling, redness, and itching in the affected area by blocking the release of substances that trigger inflammation.

How should I take it?

This medicine is for topical use only and make sure to shake the bottle before using it. Apply a thin layer to the affected skin and gently rub it in. Do not use it over large areas of skin unless instructed by your doctor.

What if I missed a dose?

Apply Desowen as soon as possible, but if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not apply two doses at once.

What are the special precautions before taking Desowen?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history.

• Any type of skin infection
• A skin reaction to any steroid medication
• Diabetes
Do not give this medicine to a child without your doctor advise. Some brands or forms of this medication are only for use by adults 18 and older. Children may absorb larger amounts of this medicine through their skin and could be more likely to experience side effects.

This may not be a complete list of medications that could interact with topical Desonide, so always consult your doctor for further guidance.

How should I store it?
Store at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Do not freeze. Keep the bottle or tube tightly closed when not in use.
