About Diprovate RD Cream

Diprovate RD Cream is used to prevent allergies, including swelling, itching, redness, heat, and pain caused by certain skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches), dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). 

Diprovate RD Cream contains Betamethasone, which works by inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. 

Some people may experience skin redness, inflamed hair follicles, itching, blistering, or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of Diprovate RD 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 Diprovate RD Cream or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, you are advised to consult a doctor before using Diprovate RD Cream. Do not use Diprovate RD Cream in more than prescribed doses or on a large area of skin for a prolonged time, as it may cause adverse effects. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with a bandage unless advised by your doctor. If you have diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, adrenal gland or liver problems, or had a skin reaction to a steroid medicine in the past, inform your doctor before taking Diprovate RD Cream.

Medicinal Benefits

Diprovate RD Cream is a steroid that is used to treat swelling, itching, redness, heat, and pain caused by certain skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches), dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). Diprovate RD Cream acts inside the skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. When the skin reacts to any type of allergens, such chemicals are released normally.
