How does Dipnate N Cream work?

Dipnate N Cream consists of Betamethasone, Neomycin, and Zinc sulfate. Collectively, Dipnate N Cream works by killing the bacteria that cause infection and relieves the inflammation and itchiness caused due to various skin infections like eczema, psoriasis, melasma, insect bites, and dermatitis.

What happens if I use Dipnate N Cream for longer periods?

When used for longer periods, Betamethasone in Dipnate N Cream gets absorbed in the blood circulation and can cause adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of Dipnate N Cream based on the severity of your infection. It is advised to use Dipnate N Cream only for the prescribed period since long term usage of Dipnate N Cream on the skin may cause increased hair growth, and weakening and thinning of the skin.

Betamethasone in Dipnate N Cream is not recommended for use in diaper rash, diabetes, Cushing's disease (high cortisol levels), pituitary gland diseases, cataract and glaucoma.

Please seek doctor advice if you have any of these conditions.

Can I stop using Dipnate N Cream when my symptoms are relieved?

About Dipnate N Cream

Dipnate N Cream is a dermatological medicine primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales), dermatitis (itchy inflammation of the skin), melasma (brown patches on the face) and insect bites. Dipnate N Cream is also used to treat prurigo nodularis (hard, itchy lumps on the skin), lichen simplex chronicus (scaling of the skin due to repetitive itching), lichen planus (swelling and irritation in the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes), seborrhoeic dermatitis (scaly patches and red skin mainly on the scalp), miliaria (prickly heat), and anal and genital intertrigo (chaffing of the skin). Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes illness.

Dipnate N Cream is composed of Betamethasone (corticosteroid), Neomycin (antibiotic), and Zinc sulfate (antiseptic and astringent).
