Advacort Cream 0.1% 10g contains Methylprednisolone Aceponate 0.1%, a topical corticosteroid. Made by Atco Laboratories Ltd, it is prescribed for eczema, dermatitis and inflammatory skin conditions. Pack size: 10 gm.

Uses of Advacort Cream 0.1% 10g

Advacort Cream 0.1% 10g cream, ointment and fatty ointment are used to relieve inflammatory skin conditions such as atopic eczema, contact dermatitis and other forms of dermatitis in adults and children. It eases itching, redness and swelling so the skin can recover. Doctors often choose it because it works well while carrying a relatively low risk of skin thinning compared with some other strong steroids.

How Advacort Cream 0.1% 10g works

Methylprednisolone aceponate is a corticosteroid that becomes activated within the skin. It blocks the production of chemicals that drive inflammation and itching, which calms the reaction. Because much of it is broken down in the skin, less reaches the rest of the body.

Possible side effects

Side effects of Advacort Cream 0.1% 10g are uncommon when it is used correctly. They may include:

• Burning or itching where applied
• Dryness or redness
• Folliculitis (spots around hair follicles)
• Skin thinning with long use

Stop using it and see a doctor if the skin becomes infected, weeps or the rash spreads. Get urgent help for swelling of the face or difficulty breathing.

Precautions and warnings

• Use the smallest amount for the shortest time your doctor recommends.
• It is not a fairness cream; misuse of steroid creams can cause permanent skin damage.
• Avoid the eyes, open wounds and skin infections such as fungal or viral rashes unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• In children, take extra care with large areas, the nappy area and covering with dressings.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use it only after speaking to your doctor and do not apply it to the breasts.
