Your healthcare provider may prescribe a medication called prednicarbate (
Dermatop®) if you have eczema,
contact dermatitis, allergic dermatitis, or any other skin condition that causes inflammation and is responsive to steroids. A thin layer of the medicine should be applied to the affected area(s) twice daily. Do not cover the area with a bandage or other dressing unless your healthcare provider recommends this.
Although most people have no problems with this drug, if you experience severe fluid retention, hallucinations, or
glaucoma while using prednicarbate, inform your healthcare provider right away. These are signs of serious adverse reactions that need prompt medical care.
