Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?
A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Desoadd Cream. The medicine inside is the same — the brand name, manufacturer and price are what differ.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.
Composition of Desoadd Cream
Desoadd Cream contains Desonide (0.05% w/w). It belongs to the Corticosteroid / calcineurin inhibitor class of medicines.
Uses of Desoadd Cream
Treatment of Skin conditions with inflammation & itching
Benefits of Desoadd Cream
- In Eczema
- Desoadd calms the inflammation behind an eczema flare, quickly reducing the redness, itch and weeping so the skin can heal and the scratch-itch cycle is broken.
- In Dermatitis
- Desoadd settles the red, itchy, inflamed skin of dermatitis, whether from an allergy, irritant or contact with something the skin reacts to.
- In Psoriasis
- Desoadd reduces the thickening, scaling and redness of psoriasis plaques and relieves the itch.
- In Skin inflammation and itching
- Desoadd relieves itching and inflammation of the skin from insect bites, rashes and reactions, so the skin can settle.
How Desoadd Cream works
Desoadd 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 Desoadd Cream
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected 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
If you miss a dose of Desoadd Cream, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not apply extra to make up for a missed dose.
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 Desoadd Cream
Most side effects of Desoadd are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Burning or stinging
- Thinning of the skin
- Stretch marks
- Acne
- Change in skin colour
Stop the medicine and get help at once 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.

- KidneySAFE

Warnings and precautions
Use it only on the area and for the number of days your doctor specified. Potent steroid creams thin the skin permanently when used for too long. Never use a potent steroid cream on the face, the groin or the underarms unless your doctor has specifically told you to — the skin there is thin and absorbs much more. Do not use it on an infection. A steroid on ringworm, impetigo or herpes makes the infection worse while hiding it. Do not use leftover cream on a new rash, and never pass it to someone else. Stop and see your doctor if the area becomes more painful, weepy or crusted.
Do not take Desoadd if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for untreated bacterial, fungal or viral skin infections. Not for use in or around the eyes.
Interactions with other medicines
No significant interactions are expected from preparations used on the skin.

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use. Keep out of the reach of children.
