DELOR 0.05% Cream

What is DELOR 0.05%

DELOR 0.05% Cream contains Clobetasol propionate, a highly potent topical corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It works by reducing inflammation, redness, and itching associated with these skin disorders. Clobetasol propionate is one of the strongest steroids available for topical use and is typically prescribed when other milder treatments have not been effective.

DELOR 0.05% Cream is supplied in a 25g collapsible tube, making it easy to apply directly to the affected areas of the skin. Due to its potency, it is usually applied in small amounts to the affected area and is not intended for long-term use. Using DELOR for extended periods or over large areas can increase the risk of side effects.

Consult your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate duration of treatment and how frequently DELOR should be applied based on your condition.

How to use DELOR 0.05%

DELOR 0.05% Cream should be used as directed by your healthcare provider. Typically, a thin layer of the cream is applied to the affected area of skin once or twice daily. Follow these general guidelines for use:

• Application: Wash your hands before and after applying the cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area, gently rubbing it in until it is absorbed. Do not cover the treated area with bandages or dressings unless instructed by your doctor.
• Avoid Sensitive Areas: Avoid applying DELOR to the face, groin, or underarms unless specifically directed by your healthcare provider. Also, avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Short-Term Use: Do not use DELOR for longer than recommended by your healthcare provider, as prolonged use can increase the risk of side effects.
• Missed Dose: If you miss an application, apply it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions closely, and consult them if you have any concerns about how to use DELOR 0.05% Cream effectively.

Mode of Action DELOR 0.05%

The active ingredient in DELOR 0.05% Cream, Clobetasol propionate, is a topical corticosteroid that works by reducing the activity of the body’s immune response in the skin. It suppresses the production of inflammatory chemicals like prostaglandins and histamines, which are responsible for causing redness, swelling, and itching.

• Anti-Inflammatory Effect: Clobetasol reduces the inflammation associated with skin conditions, alleviating symptoms such as itching and redness.
• Immunosuppressive Action: It decreases the immune system’s response in the affected area, helping to reduce the severity of autoimmune skin conditions like psoriasis.
• Rapid Relief: DELOR provides fast relief of symptoms, making it effective for short-term management of flare-ups in severe skin conditions.

Due to its high potency, Clobetasol is not recommended for long-term use, and the smallest amount necessary to achieve relief should be used.

DELOR 0.05% Interactions DELOR 0.05%

DELOR 0.05% Cream may interact with other medications, especially other corticosteroids. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are using, including oral or topical treatments. Key interactions to consider include:

• Other Topical Steroids: Using multiple corticosteroid creams or ointments may increase the risk of side effects such as thinning skin or systemic absorption of the steroid.
• Medications that Affect Immune Function: If you are taking medications that affect your immune system, using DELOR may increase your susceptibility to infections.
• Cosmetics or Skin Products: Certain cosmetics or skin care products may irritate the skin or interfere with the absorption of Clobetasol. Avoid using harsh or irritating products on treated areas.

Always consult your healthcare provider before combining DELOR with other medications or skin products to ensure safe use and avoid adverse effects.
