Like all medications, this medication may produce adverse effects, although not all people may experience them.

If you are affected by any of the following adverse effects, stop using this medication and consult your doctor as soon as possible.

The evaluation of adverse effects is based on the following frequencies:

Unknown frequency (The frequency cannot be estimated from the available data):

skin irritation, skin thinning (atrophy), stretch marks, blisters, steroid acne, formation of light patches on the skin (hypopigmentation), vascular spiders, skin burns, itching, skin dryness, inflammation of hair follicles (folliculitis), and alteration of hair growth, sensitization, perioral dermatitis (inflammation of the skin around the upper lip and chin), skin allergy reaction (contact dermatitis), skin maceration, delayed wound healing, peeling, secondary infections (additional infections caused by pathogens), blurred vision.

The following secondary effects may occur more frequently when applied under occlusive dressings (diapers, bandages): skin maceration, secondary infections caused by pathogens (additional infections), skin thinning, stretch marks, and blisters.

Secondary effects may occur not only at the treatment site but also in completely different areas of the body (i.e., systemic secondary effects). This happens if the active ingredient (corticosteroid) is absorbed by the body through the skin. This can lead, for example, to the so-called Cushing syndrome, in children, growth retardation, reduced weight gain, and increased intracranial pressure have been observed. This is especially important in children, as they are more susceptible.
