Always inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, before starting Lotrisone. Certain medications may interact with Lotrisone, potentially altering its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or UV radiation while using Lotrisone. This cream may increase your skin’s sensitivity to sun, leading to sunburn. Use sunscreen with a high SPF if sun exposure is unavoidable.
Apply Lotrisone only to the affected area. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and nose. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
Common side effects include burning, stinging, itching, or redness at the application site. These usually are mild and temporary. However, report any persistent or worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider.
Rare, but more serious side effects, include skin thinning, increased hair growth, or acne. Stop using Lotrisone and seek immediate medical attention if you experience allergic reactions such as swelling, difficulty breathing, or hives.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using Lotrisone, as its safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding hasn’t been fully established.
Lotrisone is not suitable for everyone. Discuss your medical history with your doctor to determine if Lotrisone is the right treatment for you.
