Dermatop Cream

Pronunciation: PRED-ni-KAR-bate
Generic Name: Prednicarbate
Brand Name: Dermatop

Dermatop Cream is used for:

Treating inflammation and itching caused by certain skin conditions. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Dermatop Cream is a corticosteroid. Exactly how it works to reduce skin inflammation (redness, swelling, itching, irritation) is not known.

Do NOT use Dermatop Cream if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Dermatop Cream or to other corticosteroids (eg, prednisone)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Dermatop Cream:

Some medical conditions may interact with Dermatop Cream. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

• if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding


• if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement


• if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances


• if you have any kind of skin infection, cuts, scrapes, or lessened blood flow to your skin


• if you have had a recent vaccination; have measles, tuberculosis (TB), chickenpox, or shingles; or have had a positive TB test


• if you are taking an oral corticosteroid (eg, prednisone) or similar medicines

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Dermatop Cream. Because little, if any, of Dermatop Cream is absorbed into the blood, the risk of it interacting with another medicine is low.

Ask your health care provider if Dermatop Cream may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Dermatop Cream:

Use Dermatop Cream as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

• Apply a thin film of medicine to the affected area. Gently rub the medicine in until it is evenly distributed.


• Wash your hands after applying Dermatop Cream, unless your hands are part of the treated area.


• Do not bandage or wrap the affected area, unless directed otherwise by your doctor.


• If you miss a dose of Dermatop Cream, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Dermatop Cream.

Important safety information:

• Do not get Dermatop Cream in your eyes. If you get Dermatop Cream in your eyes, rinse them immediately with cool tap water. Do not use Dermatop Cream on the face, underarms, groin, or diaper areas.


• Do not exceed the recommended dose or use Dermatop Cream for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.


• Serious side effects may occur if too much of Dermatop Cream is absorbed through the skin. This may be more likely to occur if you use Dermatop Cream over a large area of the body. It may also be more likely if you wrap or bandage the area after you apply Dermatop Cream. The risk is greater in children. Do not use more than the prescribed dose. Contact your doctor right away if you develop unusual weight gain (especially in the face), muscle weakness, increased thirst or urination, confusion, unusual drowsiness, severe or persistent headache, or vision changes. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.


• Do not apply Dermatop Cream over large areas of the body without first checking with your doctor.


• Do not use Dermatop Cream for other skin conditions at a later time.
