Medicinal Benefits:
Ultiderm Lotion contains fluocinolone acetonide, which belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It is effectively used to treat various inflammatory, allergic, and autoimmune diseases. It works by interfering with the inflammation process. It reduces the release of chemicals that cause inflammation. It causes constriction (narrowing) of blood vessels, decreasing the access of cells to the site of injury. This effect helps in reducing redness, swelling, itching, scaling, crusting, dryness, and discomfort.
FAQs
Ultiderm Lotion belongs to the class of medications called Corticosteroids, used to treat itching and inflammation caused by skin conditions that respond to topical corticosteroids (corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses), such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis.
Ultiderm Lotion is a corticosteroid used in the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions. It also has antipruritic properties (reduces itching). It reduces the release of chemicals that cause inflammation, thereby reducing redness, swelling and itching of the skin.
While using Ultiderm Lotion, do not contact anyone who has shingles, chickenpox or measles. If you accidentally come in contact with any person having them, please inform your doctor immediately, as it requires special treatment if you have not had these illnesses.
Do not use for longer-term unless prescribed by your doctor as prolonged use may cause thinning of the skin and easy bruising.
Ultiderm Lotion should improve your condition within the first 2 weeks of your treatment. Consult your doctor if the symptoms do not improve.
The side effects of Ultiderm Lotion include burning, itching, irritation or dryness of the skin, pimples, a change in skin colour, small white or red bumps on the skin, tiny red bumps or rash around the mouth. Most of these side effects of Ultiderm Lotion do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Ultiderm Lotion is effective against Trichophyton species which cause athlete’s foot, ringworm infection, and jock itch (fungal infection of the skin in the buttocks or groin). Additionally, it is effective against yeast known as Candida, which commonly causes vaginal thrush (an infection caused by the overgrowth of yeast called Candida albicans).
Before using Ultiderm Lotion, clean and dry the affected area of the skin. Then, apply a thin layer of the medicine to the affected area and gently rub it in. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application. If Ultiderm Lotion accidentally comes into contact with the nose, mouth, or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
You should see an improvement in the symptoms of skin infection, such as soreness or itching, within a few days of treatment with Ultiderm Lotion. However, signs such as scaling and redness may take longer to subside. Even if you feel better, do not stop using Ultiderm Lotion before the duration advised by your doctor.
The type of infection determines the duration of treatment. In general, therapy for tinea infection with Ultiderm Lotion is continued for 1 month, and for candida infection, it is continued for at least 15 days. Do not stop using Ultiderm Lotion on your own, even if you feel better, because the infection may recur as it takes some time to kill the fungus.
Ultiderm Lotion is safe for children only if it is used as prescribed by the doctor.
Keep the affected areas of the skin clean and dry, but avoid excessive rubbing. Although itching may make you want to scratch, avoid scratching as it will damage the skin’s surface and cause the infection to spread further. Avoid sharing towels, bath mats, and other personal items with others, as you may spread the infection to them.
Ultiderm Lotion may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives, like condoms and diaphragms. If you are using the cream on the penis or vulva, you are recommended to use alternative contraceptive methods, for at least 5 days after using Ultiderm Lotion.
No, do not stop using Ultiderm Lotion without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better, as your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Therefore, for better and complete treatment, it is advised to use Ultiderm Lotion for the prescribed duration.
