How does Praiscort Cream work?

Praiscort Cream reduces pain, swelling and inflammation associated with various skin conditions. It works by blocking the release of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation. It also narrows the blood vessels at the affected area, decreasing the permeability of cells (including white blood cells) into the affected site.

Does Praiscort Cream affect immunity?

Praiscort Cream weakens your immune system and increases the risk of getting infections. So, make sure you stay away from people who are sick or have infections, especially chickenpox and measles.

Can Praiscort Cream be used for long-term?

Prolonged use of topical steroids is not recommended unless prescribed by the doctor based on your medical condition.

Can I stop using Praiscort Cream when my symptoms are relieved?

Please do not stop using Praiscort Cream on your own, even if the symptoms are relieved. Your symptoms may improve before the skin infection is completely cured. Continue the usage of Praiscort Cream until your course advised by the doctor is finished.

What precautions should I take while using Praiscort Cream?

Praiscort Cream is for topical (for skin) use only. Do not put a bandage or dressing on the affected area unless the doctor advises while treating with Praiscort Cream. Do not apply Praiscort Cream on mucous membranes, lesions, or large areas of skin. If the medicine gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse thoroughly with cold water.
