It belongs to the corticosteroid class of medications and works by stimulating natural substances in the skin. These substances help reduce swelling, redness, and itching, providing relief from skin irritation and skin inflammation.

For corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses (skin conditions) in adults: Apply a thin layer to the affected skin areas 2 or 3 times daily. Do this depending on how severe the condition is. Rub the cream in gently.

For atopic dermatitis (eczema) in patients 3 months and older: Apply a thin layer to the affected skin areas 2 times daily. Rub the cream in gently.

Stop therapy when the skin condition is controlled. If you see no improvement within 2 weeks, talk to your doctor. Your doctor may need to reassess your diagnosis.

Safety Precautions for Locoid Lipocream

Locoid Lipocream can cause HPA-axis suppression. HPA-axis suppression can cause systemic side effects. These side effects include glucocorticosteroid insufficiency.

Using high-potency steroids can cause this. Using large treatment areas is a factor. Prolonged use can cause this. Occlusive dressings can increase the risk. An altered skin barrier increases risk. Liver failure and young age are also factors.

Your doctor may check your HPA axis. They may use cosyntropin (ACTH) stimulation testing. If HPA-axis suppression occurs, your doctor may reduce the frequency. They may have you stop Locoid Lipocream. They might prescribe a weaker steroid. Signs of glucocorticosteroid insufficiency can occur. You may need systemic steroids.

Pediatric patients may be more susceptible. This is due to their larger skin-surface-to-body-mass ratios.

Systemic side effects include Cushing’s syndrome. Hyperglycemia and glucosuria can also occur.

Using more than one steroid product at the same time is not recommended. It may increase steroid exposure. Minimize steroid effects. Mitigate risk factors for increased absorption. Use Locoid Lipocream as directed.

Locoid Lipocream can increase the risk of cataracts and glaucoma. Cataracts and glaucoma have been reported. Avoid contact with the eyes. Report any visual symptoms. Your doctor may refer you to an eye doctor.

Locoid Lipocream may delay the healing of skin infections. It can worsen skin infections. If infections occur, use antifungal, antibacterial, or antiviral medicine. If the infection does not improve, stop Locoid Lipocream. Do not use it until the infection is controlled.

Locoid Lipocream can cause allergic contact dermatitis. Allergic contact dermatitis is diagnosed by failure to heal. It is not diagnosed by clinical exacerbation. This should be confirmed with patch testing. Stop Locoid Lipocream if diagnosed.
