Description
Metizolon (Methylprednisolone) Cream 1 mg/g – 15g Tube
Ingredients:
- Each gram of Metizolon cream contains 1 mg of methylprednisolone as the active ingredient.
Dosage:
- Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area once or twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Indications:
- Metizolon cream is indicated for the relief of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.
Contraindications:
- Do not use Metizolon cream in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to methylprednisolone or any other component of the formulation.
Directions:
- Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream. Gently massage the cream into the skin until it is absorbed.
Scientific Evidence:
- Studies have shown that methylprednisolone exerts anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators and suppressing the immune response. This mechanism of action is effective in reducing inflammation and relieving symptoms of dermatological conditions.
Additional Information:
- Long-term use of Metizolon cream may lead to skin thinning, telangiectasia, and other local adverse reactions. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and treatment duration to minimize potential side effects.
- Research suggests that topical methylprednisolone formulations offer targeted relief with fewer systemic side effects compared to oral corticosteroids, making them a preferred choice for localized inflammatory skin conditions.
