Lutisone Ointment 10 gm is a topical medication that typically contains fluticasone propionate, a potent corticosteroid. It is used to treat various skin conditions characterized by inflammation and itching, such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. Fluticasone works by reducing inflammation, redness, and swelling in the affected area.
The 10 gm size is convenient for localized treatment, allowing for easy application to small or specific areas of the skin. Users are generally advised to apply a thin layer of the ointment to the affected area once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare professional.
Common side effects may include skin irritation, burning, or dryness at the application site. Prolonged use of topical corticosteroids can lead to skin thinning or other side effects, so it is important to follow the prescribed treatment duration and dosage.
As with any medication, it is essential to discuss any pre-existing health conditions and other medications being taken with a healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective use. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.
