Description

Metizolon (methylprednisolone) cream 1 mg/g. 15 g. 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, the active ingredient in Metizolon cream, exerts its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators and suppressing the immune response. This mechanism of action makes it effective in reducing inflammation and relieving symptoms associated with various dermatological conditions.

Additional Information:

It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to avoid potential side effects associated with corticosteroid use. Long-term use of topical corticosteroids like Metizolon cream may lead to skin thinning, telangiectasia, and other local adverse reactions. Consult a healthcare provider for guidance on the appropriate use of this medication.

Research has also indicated that the use of methylprednisolone in topical formulations can provide targeted relief with reduced systemic side effects compared to oral corticosteroids, making it a preferred choice for localized inflammatory skin conditions.
