Dipsid-Plus Cream is a combination medicine used in the treatment of various types of skin infections, minimizing symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling, and itching by acting against the infection-causing microorganisms. Dipsid-Plus Cream is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. A thin layer of the medicine should be applied only to the affected areas of the skin with clean and dry hands. Wash your hands before and after applying the medicine. If it gets into your eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina rinse with water. It may take several days to weeks for your symptoms to improve, but you should keep using this medicine regularly. The course of the treatment should be completed to ensure better efficacy of the medicine. If your condition does not improve or gets worse, you should talk to your doctor.
Dipsid-Plus Cream is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Clotrimazole, and Fusidic Acid. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by inhibiting synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.
What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Dipsid-Plus Cream for long periods?
Using higher doses of Dipsid-Plus Cream for extended durations can lead to absorption into the bloodstream. This may result in adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome. Symptoms such as weight gain, high blood pressure, and facial rounding are possible outcomes. Skin discoloration at the application site is also a potential side effect, along with visible veins due to skin thinning and weakened tissue. Increased hair growth might occur. If you experience an increase in your symptoms, consult your doctor for further evaluation.
What are the contraindications associated with the use of Dipsid-Plus Cream?
Dipsid-Plus Cream is not recommended for individuals allergic to any of its components or excipients. It should also not be used in conjunction with fungal infections (e.g., ringworm or athlete's foot), viral infections (e.g., herpes or chickenpox), or acne or rosacea. Before using the medication, consult your doctor for specific instructions on various conditions.
What are the instructions for the storage and disposal of Dipsid-Plus Cream?
Store Dipsid-Plus Cream in its original packaging and as directed by the product label. Dispose of unused medication responsibly to prevent ingestion by pets or other individuals. Ensure proper disposal methods to avoid contamination.
Can I stop taking Dipsid-Plus Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue using Dipsid-Plus Cream before completing the prescribed course of treatment, even if your symptoms improve. It is essential to adhere to the full course of medication as directed by your doctor to ensure complete infection resolution. Symptoms may improve before complete eradication of the infection.
What precautions should I take while using Dipsid-Plus Cream?
Avoid applying Dipsid-Plus Cream to your face and keep it away from your eyes. Do not apply a bandage or dressing over the treated area as this increases absorption and potential side effects. This medicine should only be used for its prescribed condition, not for others without consulting your doctor. It's crucial not to share this medication with anyone else, even if their condition appears similar.
