Description
Overview of the medicine
Xzema-2-01-cream is a topical medication used for the treatment of various inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. It helps reduce redness, itching, and swelling, while also providing moisturization to the affected skin.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Apply a thin layer to affected skin areas once or twice daily.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment required; use with caution.
Renal_impairment
No specific dosage adjustment required for topical use.
How to Take
For external use only. Apply a thin film to the affected skin area and rub in gently. Wash hands before and after application, unless hands are the treated area. Do not use on broken or infected skin without doctor's advice.
Mechanism of Action
The cream works by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and suppressing immune responses in the skin, thereby reducing symptoms of inflammation like redness, itching, and swelling. It also forms a protective barrier to retain moisture.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Relief of symptoms typically within a few days of application.
Excretion
Excreted via urine and bile if systemically absorbed.
Half life
Not well-defined for topical application due to minimal systemic absorption.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption through intact skin; increased with damaged skin or occlusive dressings.
Metabolism
Metabolized primarily in the liver if significant systemic absorption occurs; also locally in the skin.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the cream
- Untreated fungal, viral (e.g., herpes simplex, varicella), or bacterial skin infections
- Rosacea, perioral dermatitis
- Acne vulgaris
Drug Interactions
Other topical corticosteroids
Concurrent use may increase systemic absorption and potential for side effects.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from light. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Topical overdose is unlikely to lead to acute systemic toxicity. Chronic overuse may lead to local side effects like skin thinning or systemic effects if absorbed significantly. Management is symptomatic.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Use with caution during pregnancy and lactation, only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant. Consult a doctor.
