How to take, the dosage

Externally, Belogent cream is applied to the affected area of the skin in a thin layer, rubbing gently, twice a day.

Special Instructions

Prolonged use of the drug on the skin of the face is not recommended because rosacea, perioral dermatitis and acne may develop.
Belogent should not be used in the eye area because of the possibility of contact of the drug with the mucous membrane, which may contribute to cataract, glaucoma, fungal eye infections and exacerbation of herpes infections.

Some areas of the body (axillae, groin folds) where there is natural occlusion are more at risk for stretch marks, so use in these areas should be of short duration.

If a fungal infection develops on the skin, additional use of an antifungal agent is necessary.

In prolonged, continuous use, particularly in children, over large areas of skin, application to skin with compromised integrity or when used under an occlusive dressing, systemic adverse events may develop, but the likelihood is extremely small.

Pediatric use. Can be used in children, with caution and for short periods of time. The duration of treatment should be as short as possible. The drug should not be used in children under bandages and especially under plastinated diapers, as this increases absorption of the drug and increases the risk of side effects.

viral skin infections, skin postvaccination reactions;
open wounds, trophic ulcers;
acne vulgaris, rosacea;
chicken pox;

Side effects

They are mild in nature.

Rarely (as with other GKS) hypersensitivity reactions (burning, itching, redness), acne-like changes, hypopigmentation, stretch marks, skin atrophy, hypertrichosis, telangiectasia may develop.

If hypersensitivity reactions occur the therapy should be discontinued and the patient should consult a physician.

Overdose

Systemic side effects are possible with prolonged continuous use, especially in children, over large areas of skin, application to skin with compromised integrity, or use under an occlusive dressing, but the likelihood is extremely low.
