Atonide Cream falls under the category of medications known as topical corticosteroids. It is prescribed to alleviate the inflammatory and itching symptoms associated with corticosteroid-responsive skin conditions.
Patients are advised to use this cream for the short duration required to achieve the desired outcomes, as there is a potential for the cream to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. It is recommended that the treatment period should not exceed four consecutive weeks.
Before using this cream, inform your doctor if you are allergic to desonide or other medication components. Additionally, inform them if you have concurrent skin infections caused by parasites.
