Package contents and additional information

1. What Menaderm Clio cream is and what it is used for

It is a medication that contains beclometasone dipropionate, a corticosteroid anti-inflammatory, and clioquinol, with antifungal (against fungi) and antibacterial activity. It is for use on the skin.

Menaderm Clio cream is indicated for:

Local treatment of inflammatory and itchy manifestations of skin conditions that respond to corticosteroids in cases complicated by infection with microorganisms sensitive to clioquinol.

Menaderm Clio cream is indicated for adults and adolescents over 12 years of age.

2. What you need to know before using Menaderm Clio cream

Do not use Menaderm Clio cream:

If you are allergic to beclometasone, clioquinol, iodine, or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
If you have tuberculosis, syphilis, or viral infections (e.g., herpes or chickenpox).
If you suffer from rosacea (skin condition of the face with red/pink inflammation) or inflammation around the mouth (perioral dermatitis).
For acne or ulcers.
For skin diseases with thinning of the skin (atrophy).
In areas of the skin showing a vaccination reaction, i.e., redness or inflammation after vaccination.
In the eyes or on open wounds.
In children under 2 years of age.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use Menaderm Clio cream.

If you experience any hypersensitivity reaction or excessive dryness, or if your skin condition worsens, you should discontinue treatment and consult your doctor about your treatment.
The medication should not be applied to large areas of skin or for prolonged periods.
The use of this medication can cause side effects typical of corticosteroids, especially in children, including adrenal gland disorders, due to absorption into the body of the active ingredient, especially in treatments of large areas or prolonged use.
Menaderm Clio cream should not come into contact with the eyes or the area around them, or with mucous membranes (e.g., the mouth or genital area).
In skin folds, such as the groin or armpits, the medication should be applied with caution and for a short period, as absorption is greater in these areas.
The medication should not be used under airtight and waterproof dressings, such as non-breathable bandages, to avoid absorption of the active ingredients. Clioquinol used with occlusion can increase iodine levels in the blood.
Clioquinol may cause irritation or an allergic reaction in some cases in people with hypersensitivity to other products with a related chemical structure (cross-sensitivity).
Clioquinol can stain clothing yellow and can also discolor skin and nails and decolorize hair. Although these stains can be removed from most fabrics by washing with regular detergents, it is recommended to take precautions.
The non-professional use of topical corticosteroids can mask symptoms and make diagnosis and correct treatment more difficult.
Contact your doctor if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances.

Interference with laboratory tests

If you are going to have any diagnostic tests (including blood or urine tests), inform your doctor that you are using this medication, as it may alter the results, for example, thyroid function tests.

Children and adolescents

Menaderm Clio cream is contraindicated in children under 2 years of age and is not recommended for children under 12 years of age.

Excessive use of the medication can cause side effects (see section 4).

If you use the cream more frequently than you should or on large areas of skin, it may be absorbed into the body and cause various disorders.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, telephone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested (or go to a medical center).

If you forget to use Menaderm Clio cream

If you have any other questions about the use of this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medications, this medication can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

The side effects that may occur are generally local and transient. They may be more frequent and even cause side effects in areas other than the application site when large areas are treated, with high doses, under occlusive conditions, or for prolonged periods.

The following may occur:

Irritation
Rash
Burning sensation
Redness (erythema)
Dryness of the skin
Itching
Increased hair growth
Changes in skin color
Inflammation of hair follicles (folliculitis)
Bruises
Fluid retention (edema)
Acne
Inflammation around the mouth (perioral dermatitis)
Thinning of the skin (atrophy)
Appearance of fine blood vessels under the skin surface
Stretch marks
Allergic skin reaction (contact dermatitis)

Side effects may occur not only in the treated area but also in completely different areas of the body, which can happen if the active ingredients pass into the body through the skin. This, for example, can increase pressure in the eye (glaucoma) or could cause a condition characterized by a rounded face, fat accumulation, delayed healing, etc. (Cushing's syndrome). Blurred vision may also occur with an unknown frequency (cannot be estimated from available data).
