Special Instructions

The product is for external use only.

Long-term use on the face is not recommended because it can cause rosacea, perioral dermatitis and acne.

Should not use in the eye area because of the potential for contact with the mucosa, which could lead to cataracts, 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, since it increases absorption of the drug and increases the risk of side effects.

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and mechanisms. Does not affect the ability to operate vehicles and mechanisms.

Contraindications

Side effects

They are mild in nature.

Rarely (as well 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 are extremely unlikely.

Pregnancy use

Possible if the expected effect of therapy exceeds the potential risk to the fetus.

In pregnancy, the use of Belogent should not be prolonged and should, if possible, be limited to small areas of skin.

In the period of breastfeeding, only for strict indications, but Belogent should not be applied to the mammary gland before breastfeeding.
