About Butesone Cream
Butesone Cream is used to treat swelling, itching, redness, and irritation caused by certain skin problems such as dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin), eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen, or rough skin) and psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches). Skin irritation occurs when an allergic reaction releases several substances that widen blood vessels, causing itching, redness, pain, and swelling in the affected area.
Butesone Cream contains 'Clobetasone' that works by acting inside skin cells, inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers responsible for causing redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. Thus, Butesone Cream treats skin allergies like allergic dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis.
Use Butesone Cream as prescribed. Butesone Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact of Butesone Cream with nose, mouth, or eyes. In case Butesone Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience itching, pain, irritation, or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of Butesone Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Butesone Cream or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Butesone Cream. Wear disposable plastic gloves or wash your hands after use if you are applying Butesone Cream for others. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) in contact with Butesone Cream catches fire and burns easily. Do not use Butesone Cream within skin folds and on broken skin without a doctor’s advice. Avoid contact of Butesone Cream with eyes, as it may lead to glaucoma (high pressure in the eye damages the optic nerve) or cataracts if Butesone Cream gets into the eye repeatedly. Do not swallow Butesone Cream. In case of accidental swallowing, rinse your mouth with plenty of water or consult a doctor immediately. If you have acne, rosacea (redness and often red, small, pus-filled bumps on the face), chronic leg ulcer, infected skin, or itchy skin that is not inflamed, inform your doctor before taking Butesone Cream.
