Dermatop is indicated for the treatment of inflammatory and pruritic (itchy) skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis, eczema, contact dermatitis, and other corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.
As a topical corticosteroid, Dermatop contains prednicarbate, which works by reducing inflammation, suppressing immune responses in the skin, and decreasing the activity of inflammatory cells. It also helps constrict blood vessels and reduce itching.
Dermatop is for external use only and should not be applied to open wounds, broken skin, or mucous membranes. Long-term use on large areas of skin should be avoided as it may lead to systemic corticosteroid effects. Avoid contact with eyes. Use only as directed by a healthcare provider, especially in children.
