A valid medical prescription is required to dispense this medication used on the surface of the skin to reduce the redness and itchiness caused by certain skin problems.
1. What this product is and what it is used for Diprosone cream/Ointment contains the active ingredient betamethasone dipropionate. Betamethasone dipropionate belongs to a group of medicines called topical corticosteroids which are used on the surface of the skin to reduce the redness and itchiness caused by certain skin problems. In adults and children, Diprosone cream/Ointment is used to treat skin problems, including eczema, and all types of dermatitis and psoriasis of the scalp, hands and feet. Eczema is a common skin disease, which causes the skin to become red and itchy. Dermatitis is inflammation of the skin. Psoriasis is a skin disease in which itchy, scaly, pink patches develop on the elbows, knees, scalp and other parts of the body. 2. What you need to know before you use this product Do not use Diprosone Cream/ Ointment If you have: - an allergy to betamethasone dipropionate or any of the other ingredients in this medicine (listed in section 6). - any other skin problem as it could make it worse especially rosacea (a skin condition affecting the face), acne, dermatitis around the mouth, genital itching, nappy rash, cold sores, chickenpox, shingles or other skin infections. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. Warnings and precautions If you have psoriasis, your doctor may want to review your treatment regularly. Contact your doctor if your psoriasis gets worse or you get raised bumps filled with pus under your skin. Contact your doctor if you or your child experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances. This medicine should not be used under bandages or plasters. Side effects that may happen with oral or injectable corticosteroids may also occur with corticosteroids used on the skin, especially in infants and children. If you use more than the correct amount of Diprosone Cream/ Ointment and/or use it for longer than is recommended, it can affect the levels of certain hormones in the body, particularly in infants and children. In adults the changes in hormone levels may lead rarely to puffiness or rounding of the face, weakness, tiredness, and dizziness when standing or sitting down. Do not smoke or go near naked flames – risk of severe burns. Fabric (clothing, bedding, dressings etc) that has been in contact with this product burns more easily and is a serious fire hazard. Washing clothing and bedding may reduce product build-up but not totally remove it. Children If you use more than the correct amount of Diprosone Cream/ Ointment and/or use it for longer than is recommended, it can affect your child’s hormones. Rarely this may lead to: Delayed growth and development Puffiness or rounding of the face A build-up of pressure around the brain which can produce - a bulging of the fontanelle (the soft spot in the top of the skull) in infants - a constant thumping headache - blurred vision or other visual disturbances - If Diprosone Ointment is used in children, it should not be used on any part of their body for more than 5 days. - Do not put the Ointment under your child’s nappy, as this makes it easier for the active ingredient of the medicine to pass through the skin and possibly cause some unwanted effects. Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

However, if you are worried, you should see your doctor. If you use the cream/Ointment more often than you should, or on large areas of your body, it can affect some of your hormones. In children this may affect their growth and development.

If you forget to use Diprosone Cream/Ointment If you forget to use your cream/Ointment at the right time, use it as soon as you remember, then carry on as before.

If you do, you may find that your skin becomes red and you may notice stinging or burning. To avoid this, you should speak to your doctor who will gradually reduce how often you need to use the cream until you stop treatment altogether. If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist. 4.
