Dexadine Ointment

Refer to the pack for complete information.

Relief of inflammation and itching in steroid-responsive skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and allergic rashes.

It contains a topical corticosteroid that reduces release of inflammatory chemicals in the skin. This decreases redness, swelling and itching.

Apply a thin layer to the affected area as advised by the doctor, usually 1–2 times daily. Use on clean, dry skin; avoid eyes, mouth and broken skin unless prescribed. Wash hands after application.

Burning, stinging, itching, dryness, redness, skin irritation

For external use only. Do not use for untreated bacterial, fungal or viral skin infections unless prescribed with appropriate anti-infective therapy. Avoid prolonged use, use on large areas, occlusion, and use on face/groin/armpits unless directed—may cause skin thinning and other steroid effects. Use caution in children and in patients with diabetes; stop and consult a doctor if irritation, worsening, or signs of infection occur.

No major interactions expected with topical use; increased risk of steroid side effects with occlusive dressings or concurrent use of other potent topical steroids on the same area.

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Keep cap tightly closed and out of reach of children.
