Locoid Crelo and what are they used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Locoid&nbsp;Lipid&nbsp;and Locoid Crelo are medium-strength cortisone drugs (&nbsp;glucocorticoid&nbsp;), which counteract&nbsp;inflammation&nbsp;and have an antipruritic effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locoid\u00a0Lipid\u00a0and Locoid Crelo are used to treat acute and\u00a0chronic\u00a0eczema\u00a0and\u00a0psoriasis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is used to treat adults, children, and infants over 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before using Locoid Lipid or Locoid Crelo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Locoid Lipid or Locoid Crelo:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are hypersensitive (allergic) to hydrocortisone butyrate or any of the other ingredients or&nbsp;preservatives&nbsp;(parabens)<\/li><li>in acne&nbsp;rosacea&nbsp;(a skin condition that causes&nbsp;redness&nbsp;, lumps and blisters on the face)<\/li><li>in case of rash around the mouth (&nbsp;oral&nbsp;dermatitis&nbsp;)<\/li><li>in case of skin infection that is not treated at the same time<\/li><li>in case of wounds on the skin.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before using Locoid\u00a0Lipid\u00a0or Locoid Carlo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Avoid getting Locoid&nbsp;Lipid&nbsp;or Locoid Crelo in your eyes.<\/li><li>Bandages should be avoided in case of infected&nbsp;eczema&nbsp;.<\/li><li>There is an increased risk of&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;when treating areas where skin is against skin, e.g.&nbsp;armpits, groin, large skin areas, or under bandages, but also with frequent&nbsp;dosing&nbsp;or with long-term treatment.<\/li><li>Be careful when using on the face and genitals, as these areas are more sensitive to&nbsp;cortisone&nbsp;than other skin areas.<\/li><li>Hands should be washed after each use, unless Locoid&nbsp;Lipid&nbsp;or Locoid Crelo is used to treat the hands.<\/li><li>At the end of treatment, the skin problems may return in enhanced form (so-called&nbsp;rebound effect&nbsp;).<\/li><li>Contact a doctor if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not use it on children under 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children usually need a shorter treatment time than adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long-term treatment in children under 12 years of age should be avoided if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children have an increased risk of&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;when using cortisone drugs on the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diapers can act as a cover bandage which can increase Locoid uptake into the skin and thus increase the risk of\u00a0side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pregnancy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a risk that Locoid&nbsp;Lipid&nbsp;or Locoid Crelo affects the fetus and should therefore only be used if the benefit to the mother outweighs the risks to the baby.&nbsp;The doctor will assess this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breast-feeding<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locoid&nbsp;Lipid&nbsp;or Locoid Crelo can be used during breastfeeding, but to avoid the baby accidentally getting the medicine in the mouth, it should not be used directly on the breasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using
