Cort-Dome Side Effects, Overdose and Pregnancy Information
Cort-Dome is a topical corticosteroid given to treat the rash,
itching, inflammation, and other forms of skin disorders including eczema
and psoriasis. Drugs like Cort-Dome do not cure the cause of these
problems but they can quickly relieve the symptoms by interfering with the
production of various substances in the body that cause these skin
disorders. That is why it is imperative that corticosteroids like
Cort-Dome should not be used without prior consultation of your
physician, as these conditions could be a symptom of a larger problem. Main ingredient in Cort-Dome is Hydrocortisone.
Cort-Dome is for external use only.
Cort-Dome Side Effects
Cort-Dome side effects may include allergic
reaction, rash, irritation, acne, itching, and discoloration of skin. The
side effects are more likely when the treated area is covered with
waterproof bandage.
Use of large quantities of topical corticosteroids like
Cort-Dome over large parts of your body should be avoided as large
quantities may be absorbed into the blood stream, which could lead to
serious side effects.
