This is not an exhaustive list, and other side effects may occur. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects while taking Desowen ointment, contact your healthcare provider for medical advice.
Inform your healthcare provider if you have allergies to Desonide (the active ingredient in Desowen) or other corticosteroids. Additionally, disclose any allergies to inactive ingredients, especially if Desowen contains peanut oil.
Before using Desowen, tell your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions you have.
Do not use Desowen on infected or sore skin. It can worsen the infection. If you experience worsening redness, swelling, or irritation while using Desowen, consult your healthcare provider promptly.
Desowen should only be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding if absolutely necessary. Discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider before using it in these cases.
Prolonged use of Desowen, especially on sensitive areas like the face or areas with skin folds, can increase the risk of side effects like thinning skin, stretch marks, and discoloration.
Children may be more sensitive to Desowen and experience side effects more easily. Consult your healthcare provider before using Desowen on a child.
Desowen may interact with other medications you're taking. Inform your healthcare provider about all your medications, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
