What is Diprosone Ointment?
Diprosone Ointment can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, allergic disorders, lupus psoriasis and insect bites or stings. The active ingredient betamethasone is considered a potent topical corticosteroid that works by decreasing the amount of various substances in the immune system which cause inflammation, irritation and swelling of the skin.

How is Diprosone Ointment used?
Diprosone Ointment should only be used as directed by a doctor, usually 1 to 2 times daily. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage and length of treatment as it will depend on the patient’s condition and their response to the therapy. Prior to using the ointment, wash and dry your hands and the affected area with mild soap and water. Spread a thin layer of the ointment on the affected area and gently rub it in. It is not recommended to wear tight clothing or wrap the treated area with dressing while using the ointment.
