It's essential to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions your child may have or any ongoing medications they are taking.

Directions for Use of Desosoft Lotion 30ml

Follow these instructions when applying Desosoft Lotion to your child's skin:

Ensure the affected skin area is clean and dry before application.
Apply a thin layer of lotion to the affected areas, rubbing it in gently.
Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
Do not use a bandage or dressing to cover the area unless advised by your doctor.
After applying, wash your hands thoroughly to prevent spreading any condition to other parts of your child's body or to others.
Consult your doctor for specific advice on how long you should use this lotion for your child.

Desosoft Lotion is applied topically.

The use of Desosoft Lotion might lead to the following side effects in your child:

Itching or dryness at the application site
Skin rash
Erythema: This refers to a reddening of the skin caused by increased blood flow.
Hypopigmentation: This implies a reduction in skin colour due to decreased melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour.
Folliculitis: It is an inflammation or infection of the hair follicles, the small openings that surround hair roots.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which are resolved by discontinuing the use of Desosoft Lotion. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Itching or dryness at the application site: Applying Desosoft Lotion after a bath when your child's skin is still slightly damp might help reduce these symptoms.
Skin rash: If a rash develops, consider applying the lotion at bedtime so that your child's sleep isn't affected during the day.

Desosoft Lotion contains desonide (0.05 %), which affects your child's body as follows:

Induces Lipocortins: Desonide works by inducing proteins called lipocortins in your child's body. Lipocortins help control inflammation in the skin.
Reduces Inflammation: By inducing lipocortins, desonide effectively reduces inflammation in the skin cells.
Suppresses Inflammatory Response: The induction of lipocortins results in suppressed inflammatory response hence controlling redness, itching and swelling.
Mimics Natural Anti-Inflammatory Substances: Desonide acts similarly to natural anti-inflammatory substances present in the body thus aiding in reducing inflammation.

Liver

As Desosoft Lotion is applied on the skin, it has minimal impact on liver health. However, if your child has any liver-related health concerns, discuss them with the doctor.

Kidney

Drug-Drug Interactions

Desosoft Lotion interacts with the following medicines:

Topical Keratolytic Agents: Medicines like salicylic acid, resorcinol, or benzoyl peroxide can increase skin irritation when used along with Desosoft Lotion.
Other Topical Corticosteroids: If your child is using other topical corticosteroids simultaneously, it might enhance the risk of adrenal suppression.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no specific food items known to interact with Desosoft Lotion. However, a balanced diet is always beneficial for overall health and healing.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Desosoft Lotion interacts with the following diseases:

Skin Infections: If your child has bacterial, fungal or viral skin infections like impetigo, cellulitis, tinea, herpes or chickenpox, Desosoft Lotion should not be applied as it may exacerbate the condition.
Hypersensitivity: Caution is needed if your child has a history of hypersensitivity to Desonide or any of the lotion components.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Desosoft Lotion should be applied as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage may change based on individual factors such as the severity of your child's condition and response to treatment. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not exceed it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

In case you apply more Desosoft Lotion than recommended, don't panic. Simply wipe away the excess lotion with a clean tissue or cloth. If any symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to apply this lotion as instructed, apply it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for the next application, skip the missed one now and resume your regular schedule. Never increase the dosage without consulting your doctor.

Keep Desosoft Lotion at a cool room temperature, not exceeding 25°C.
Avoid exposing it to excessive heat or direct sunlight.
Store the lotion away from damp areas to prevent moisture absorption.
Ensure the product is stored where your child cannot reach it.
Do not freeze.
Replace the cap tightly closed after use in place.

Maintain a clean and dust-free environment at home. Dust can irritate your child's skin condition further, so regular cleaning can help manage symptoms associated with conditions like atopic dermatitis or contact dermatitis.
Ensure your child wears soft, breathable fabrics like cotton. Avoid synthetic materials as they can cause sweating and irritation, exacerbating symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis.
