About Execare Cream

Execare Cream belongs to a class of dermatological preparation called 'Corticosteroids' primarily used to prevent allergies, including swelling, itching, redness, heat and pain caused due to 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). The swelling of the skin 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. Eczema is when skin patches become inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough. Dermatitis is a skin condition that causes itchy, dry skin or a rash on swollen, reddened skin. 

Execare Cream contains Halometasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It works by blocking prostaglandins (chemical messengers) production that makes the affected area red, swollen and itchy. It effectively treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema (inflamed and itchy skin), dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin) and psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches).

Use Execare Cream as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose depending on your medical condition. Avoid contact of Execare Cream with nose, mouth or eyes. If Execare Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Common side effects of Execare Cream include burning, irritation, itching and redness at the application site. Most of these side effects of Execare 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 known to be allergic to Execare Cream or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Execare Cream. Please consult your doctor before using Execare Cream in children. Do not use Execare 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. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) that is in contact with Execare Cream catches fire and burns easily. Topical use of corticosteroids (Halometasone) may sometimes cause systemic immunosuppression while treating infections such as a fever or sore throat. This condition may worsen the infections. Hence Execare Cream should be carefully used with patients with active infections.

Medicinal Benefits

Execare Cream consists of ‘Helometasone’ a topical corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. It is used to treat swelling, itching, redness, heat and pain caused due to 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). Execare Cream acts inside the skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) in the body that causes redness, itching and swelling. When the skin reacts to allergens, such chemicals are released normally.
