Medicine Overview of Desotop Gel 0.05% Gel
Desotop Gel is a topical steroid use for treatment of skin conditions with inflammation and itching. It provides relief from swelling, redness, and itching in the affected area by inhibiting the release of substances that cause inflammation.
Desotop Gel is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. You should normally wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the medicine. Avoid any contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with plenty of water in case of accidental contact. Avoid covering the treated area with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor.
Using of the medicine may cause burning sensation, irritation, redness, and swelling at the site of application and rash. These are temporary and usually resolve with time. However, if they persist or worsen, let your doctor know. The medicine is not recommended for pregnant women. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctors before using this medicine.

Pregnancy
There are no available data on use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes
Lactation
There are no data on presence in human or animal milk, effects on breastfed infant, or on milk production; unknown whether topical administration could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in human milk; developmental and health benefits should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on breastfed infant from therapy or from the underlying maternal condition
To minimize potential exposure to breastfed infant via breast milk, use on smallest area of skin and for shortest duration possible while breastfeeding; advise breastfeeding women to wash off any amount that may have been applied to nipple and areola prior to breastfeeding to avoid direct infant exposure
