Safety advice for Bekon-C Cream

Warnings and precautions

Use only on the affected area and for the duration prescribed. Do not apply on large areas, open wounds, or under occlusive dressings unless advised. Stop use and seek medical advice if rash worsens, signs of infection appear (pus, increasing pain, fever), or if severe irritation/allergy occurs. Use with caution in children and on face/groin; prolonged use of medicated creams may thin skin depending on ingredients. Not for ophthalmic use.

Interactions with other medicines

If using other topical medicines/cosmetics on the same area, apply at different times to avoid dilution/irritation. Clinically significant interactions are unlikely with topical use but depend on ingredients.

How to store Bekon-C Cream

Expert advice for Bekon-C Cream

Apply a thin layer of Bekon-C Cream to clean, dry skin as directed by your doctor. Bekon-C Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or inside the vagina, and rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs. Wash your hands before and after applying Bekon-C Cream unless your hands are the treated area. Do not cover the treated area with airtight dressings or tight bandages unless advised by your doctor. Use Bekon-C Cream only for the duration prescribed, as prolonged or unsupervised use of steroid-containing creams may thin the skin. Avoid applying Bekon-C Cream on large areas, the face, or private areas unless advised by your doctor. Do not mix Bekon-C Cream with other steroid creams or topical medicines unless instructed by your doctor. Keep the affected skin clean and dry, as moisture and humidity may worsen fungal infections. Stop using Bekon-C Cream and consult your doctor if severe burning, irritation, or worsening of the infection occurs. Consult your doctor if the infection spreads or does not improve after about 2 weeks of treatment. Do not share Bekon-C Cream with others, even if they have similar symptoms.
