How Crisaderm works
Crisaderm is a steroid. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.
- Crisaderm is used to treat the redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort of various skin conditions.
- It should be applied to the affected areas as a thin film two or three times daily, or as advised by your doctor.
- Don't use it more often or for longer than advised by your doctor.
- Don't cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
- If you think the area of skin you are treating has become infected you should stop using Crisaderm and consult your doctor.
- Consult your doctor if your skin condition has not improved after 2 weeks of treatment.
- Side effects such as mood changes or stomach problems can happen when you start taking Crisaderm. Inform your doctor if this bothers you.
- Do not stop taking Crisaderm suddenly without talking to your doctor first as it may worsen your symptoms.
