How Desosoft Cream works

Acts as an emollient that hydrates the stratum corneum and reduces transepidermal water loss. By softening and smoothing the skin and supporting the barrier, it helps relieve dryness and irritation.

How to take Desosoft Cream

For external use only. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry affected area 1-3 times daily or as directed by a doctor. Use regularly; avoid contact with eyes and broken/infected skin unless advised.

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.
