Desowen Cream — Uses, Dosage & Benefits

Desonide (0.05% w/w)

Desonide is a low-potency topical corticosteroid. It reduces skin inflammation by suppressing release of inflammatory mediators, thereby decreasing redness, swelling and itching.

For topical use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area 1–2 times daily or as directed by a doctor; rub in gently. Use the smallest amount for the shortest duration; avoid use on broken skin unless prescribed. Wash hands after application; avoid contact with eyes, mouth and mucosa. Do not cover with occlusive dressings unless advised.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
