Contraindications: - skin infections (viral, bacterial or fungal) – atrophy of skin, acne rosacea – wounds and ulcers – oversensitivity to one of the ingredients of the cream.
Side-effects:
1. Systematic effects: the most serious systematic reaction is the inhibition of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis as a result of the re-absorption of the corticosteroid. Nevertheless, the risk is at its lowest with class IV corticosteroids, under which Pannocort is classified. Some factors can increase re-absorption, such as: - application to large areas – application of high concentrations. Infants and children are particularly sensitive, and incorrect use can sometimes result in Cushing’s Syndrome-type afflictions and growth-inhibition.
2. Local effects: the most significant side-effects are: Atrophy of skin with stripes and telangiectasia, the growth or flaring up of existing infections, increased susceptibility to infections, perioral dermatitis, retarded cicatrisation, pigmentation, subcutaneous atrophy of the collagen tissue and hypertrichosis. The allergic reactions are mostly caused during local therapy by one of the ingredients of the excipient.
