Cutisone

Clinical Trials

As a generic low-potency corticosteroid, extensive new clinical trials are generally not required, but bioequivalence studies may be conducted for generic formulations.

Lab Monitoring

• Not routinely required for localized, short-term topical use. In cases of extensive or prolonged use, monitoring for adrenal suppression (e.g., plasma cortisol levels) may be considered.

Doctor Notes

• Advise patients on appropriate application technique and duration of use.
• Educate on potential side effects, particularly with prolonged use or improper application.
• Consider step-down therapy or intermittent use to minimize risks.

Patient Guidelines

• Use only as directed by your doctor.
• Apply a thin layer; do not use excessive amounts.
• Do not cover the treated area with bandages or occlusive dressings unless advised by a doctor.
• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
