You only need to use a small amount of this preparation. Apply it thinly just to the areas affected, and then massage it gently into the skin until it disappears.

Topical corticosteroids should not be used for long periods of time or on large areas of the body, especially in children. As a general guide, corticosteroids should not be used continuously for more than 5 days in children and 7 days in adults, unless your doctor gives specific instructions to do so.

The most common side-effect is some mild irritation where the cream/ointment is applied. Other side-effects occur only rarely.

About beclometasone

סוג התרופה	A potent topical corticosteroid
שימוש עבור	Inflammatory skin conditions such as severe eczema and dermatitis
נקרא גם	Beclomethasone (in US); beclometasone dipropionate
זמין כ	קרם ומשחה

Beclometasone is classed as a potent קורטיקוסטרואיד מקומי. Topical corticosteroids are also referred to as topical steroids. Topical steroids are used in addition to moisturisers (emollients) for treating inflammatory skin conditions such as אקזמה ו דרמטיטיס. A topical steroid is used when patches of eczema or dermatitis flare up. Beclometasone relieves the symptoms of a flare-up by reducing inflammation, itching and redness. It is not a cure for the condition, but it will help to relieve the symptoms.

Beclometasone is available as a cream and an ointment. It is likely you will be prescribed the cream if the affected areas of your skin are moist or weeping, and the ointment if your skin is dry. It is not generally suitable for children, although short courses of up to two weeks may occasionally be prescribed for a child by a skin specialist doctor.

Short courses of beclometasone may also be prescribed for the treatment of psoriasis, for small areas of skin such as the soles of the feet or palms of the hands.

Before using beclometasone

To make sure this is the right treatment for you, before you start using beclometasone it is important that your doctor knows:

אם יש לך אזורים של עור נגוע.
אם יש לך רוזציאה או אקנה.
אם את בהריון או מניקה.
אם אי פעם הייתה לך תגובה אלרגית לתכשיר עור.

How to use beclometasone

Before you start using the cream/ointment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about topical steroids and will provide you with a full list of the side-effects that you may experience from using them.
Apply a small amount to the areas of skin which are inflamed. Then gently rub it into the skin until it has disappeared. Do not use beclometasone on any broken or infected areas of skin.
כמות הסטרואיד המקומי שעליך למרוח נמדדת בדרך כלל ביחידות קצה אצבע (FTUs). יחידת FTU אחת היא כמות הקרם או המשחה שנלחצת לאורך קצה אצבע של מבוגר (כלומר, מהקצה של האצבע עד לקפל הראשון באצבע). כהנחיה, יחידת FTU אחת מספיקה לכיסוי שטח בגודל כפול מגודל כף יד של מבוגר. הרופא שלך ייתן לך מושג כמה יחידות FTU תצטרך כדי לכסות את האזור בעור שלך שנפגע.
Your doctor will tell you how often to apply beclometasone. It must not be applied more than twice a day, and once a day is often sufficient.
אם אתה משתמש ביותר מסטרואיד מקומי אחד, ודא שאתה יודע מתי והיכן להשתמש בכל אחד מהם. אם אינך בטוח, בדוק עם הרופא שלך או שאל את הרוקח שלך לקבלת ייעוץ נוסף.
After you have applied beclometasone, remember to wash your hands (unless your hands are the treated area).
If you are using beclometasone for psoriasis, make sure you follow your doctor's instructions carefully. It should not be used for large areas of psoriasis or for long periods of time, as these can cause your symptoms to flare up again afterwards.

להפיק את המרב מהטיפול שלך

If you are using a moisturiser along with this preparation, apply the moisturiser first. Then wait 10-15 minutes before applying beclometasone cream/ointment. This allows time for the moisturiser to be absorbed before the topical corticosteroid is applied. Your skin should be moist but not slippery when you apply beclometasone.
Do not use beclometasone cream/ointment on your face unless a skin specialist doctor has said you should. If you have been told to use it on your face, be careful not to get any preparation near your eyes and do not use it for longer periods of time than you have been advised.
Unless advised to do so by your doctor, do not apply a bandage or dressing to the area being treated, as this will increase absorption of the preparation and increase the risk of side-effects.
Continue to use beclometasone until the flare-up has gone and then stop it. A course of treatment for 7-14 days is often sufficient. If your symptoms have not improved after this time (or if they get worse), speak again with your doctor for further advice. Topical corticosteroids like beclometasone should not be used for long periods of time or on large areas of the body.
After you finish using beclometasone, continue to use your moisturiser every day. This will help to prevent a further flare-up. Your doctor may also prescribe a less potent steroid cream for you to use when needed.

Can beclometasone cause problems?

Along with their useful effects, most medicines can cause unwanted side-effects although not everyone experiences them. You can reduce the risk of side-effects from beclometasone by applying the preparation thinly, no more than twice a day, and applying it to the affected areas only.

Side-effects of beclometasone cream/ointment	מה אני יכול לעשות אם אני חווה את זה?
Burning and smarting	These may occur in the first two days but usually get better after this
דילול העור, סימני מתיחה קבועים, דרמטיטיס מגע אלרגי, אקנה, רוזציאה וצמיחת שיער במקום היישום	These would normally only affect you if you use the cream or ointment for long periods of time
Beclometasone may get through your skin and into your bloodstream	This usually causes no problem unless the cream or ointment is used regularly on large areas of the skin

חשוב: continuous or prolonged use of corticosteroid skin preparations is not recommended. As a general guide, corticosteroids should not be used continuously for more than 5 days in children and 7 days in adults, unless your doctor gives specific instructions to do so. This is to prevent the risk of more serious side-effects with prolonged use. In addition, prolonged use can lead to more severe flare-ups of your skin condition when you do stop treatment. Always continue to moisturise your skin after stopping treatment with any corticosteroid preparation. If you experience severe redness, burning or stinging of your skin within a few days or weeks of stopping treatment you should consider over-use of the corticosteroid as a possible cause. Speak to your doctor or a pharmacist for advice in this case.

חשוב: there is a risk of fire when creams and ointments are absorbed by fabrics (such as clothing or bedsheets), making them flammable. A spark or flame can easily ignite the fabric. The risk is highest when large amounts of paraffin-based products are applied and absorb into fabrics. However, there is also a risk when non-paraffin products are used. Be aware of this fire hazard when repeatedly using large amounts of any skin product. Do not smoke or go near naked flames.

When used as directed by your doctor or pharmacist, this product will be applied in small quantities on small areas of skin. There should be minimal absorption into fabrics and a lower risk of fire.

If you experience any other symptoms which you think may be due to beclometasone, speak with your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.

שאלות נפוצות

What is the difference between beclometasone cream and ointment?

Beclometasone is available as both a cream and an ointment. Generally, the cream is prescribed for areas of skin that are moist or weeping, while the ointment is used for dry skin.

Can I use beclometasone on my child's skin?

Beclometasone is generally not suitable for children. However, a skin specialist doctor may occasionally prescribe short courses of up to two weeks for a child if it is deemed necessary.

How long should I wait between applying moisturiser and beclometasone?

If you are using a moisturiser alongside beclometasone, you should apply the moisturiser first. Then, wait 10-15 minutes to allow the moisturiser to be absorbed before applying beclometasone cream or ointment. Your skin should feel moist but not slippery when you apply the beclometasone.

Does beclometasone pose a fire risk?

There is a fire risk when creams and ointments are absorbed by fabrics like clothing or bedsheets, making them flammable. This risk is highest with large amounts of paraffin-based products, but can also occur with non-paraffin products. It's important to be aware of this hazard and avoid smoking or naked flames when using these products, especially on larger areas where absorption into fabrics might be greater. When used as directed in small quantities, the risk is lower.

What should I do if my skin condition worsens or doesn't improve after using beclometasone for a while?

If your symptoms have not improved after 7-14 days of using beclometasone, or if your condition gets worse during treatment, you should speak with your doctor again for further advice. Also, if you notice severe redness, burning, or stinging of your skin within a few days or weeks of stopping treatment, you should consult your doctor or a pharmacist, as this could be due to overuse of the corticosteroid.
