About Helact 0.05% Cream
Helact 0.05% Cream belongs to a class of drugs called 'corticosteroids' primarily used to treat skin conditions like itching, redness, irritation and inflammation caused due to plaque psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches), dermatitis, eczema, or any other inflammatory skin conditions. The skin's swelling occurs when an allergic reaction or skin irritation releases several substances in the skin that widens blood vessels and cause itching, redness, pain, and swelling in the irritated area.
Helact 0.05% Cream contains Halobetasol propionate that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. By blocking the release of these chemical messengers, Helact 0.05% Cream provides relief from itching, redness, and swelling.
Helact 0.05% Cream is for external use only. Some people may experience dryness of skin, itching, pain, stretch marks, headache, burning, or stinging sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects of Helact 0.05% Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Helact 0.05% Cream or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Helact 0.05% Cream. Avoid using Helact 0.05% Cream on open wounds, windburned, sunburned, irritated, or dry skin. Do not cover or wrap the treated area with a bandage unless advised by your doctor. Helact 0.05% Cream is not recommended for children below 12 years of age.
