Picon Cream

Picon Cream is used for external use. It should be used 2-4 times a day on the affected area or use it as suggested by the doctor. It should be applied slowly and evenly to the skin until it is rubbed in. You should not use it too often and you should not cover the treated area with a bandage or plaster. You must inform your doctor if there’s no improvement even after two weeks of treatment or if the skin gets worse.

Use of Picon Cream may cause some common side effects such as headache, nasopharyngitis, cough, influenza, fever,  and viral infection. It may also cause reactions at the site of application like burning, irritation, itching and redness. This medicine is not normally recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless it is clearly needed.

• Atopic dermatitis

• Picon Cream is effective at treating eczema (atopic dermatitis) when other treatment options have failed.
• Apply thinly, to affected areas of skin only. Clean the affected area and dry well before applying Picon Cream. Avoid contact with water (shower, swimming) right after application.
• Clean the area to be treated with water and a non-medicated soap, and let it dry completely before applying Picon Cream.
• Don't cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
• Inform your doctor if there's no improvement even after two weeks of treatment, or if the skin gets worse.
• Stop using Picon Cream and consult your doctor if your eczema becomes infected.
• Continuous long-term use of the ointment should be avoided. Use as prescribed by you doctor.
