How Deslix Cream works

Deslix Cream is a mild to moderate strength steroid. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.

How to take Deslix Cream

For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area as directed by a physician. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and broken skin; wash hands after application unless hands are the treated area.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can suppress the body's own steroid production when it is used for a long time over large areas, especially in children. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Deslix Cream

Most side effects of Deslix are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:

• Application site burning
• itching
• redness
• irritation
• dryness

Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
