Side effects

Classification of the incidence of side effects according to WHO recommendations: very often - ≥1 / 10; often - from ≥1 / 100 to <1/10; infrequently - from ≥1 / 1000 to <1/100; rarely - from ≥1 / 10000 to <1/1000; very rarely - <1/10000, including individual messages; frequency unknown - from the available data, it is not possible to establish the frequency of occurrence.

On the part of the skin: rarely - skin irritation, dry skin, burning sensation of the skin, itching, acne, skin atrophy (thinning and loss of elasticity), hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth), hypopigmentation (lightening), perioral dermatitis (rash or irritation around mouth), allergic contact dermatitis, skin maceration (softening of the upper layers of the skin), striae (stretch marks), prickly heat (skin irritation resulting from increased sweating), the formation of papules and / or pustules (rash); frequency unknown - flushing of the skin (redness), urticaria (blistering).

 From the nervous system: the frequency is unknown - paresthesia (tingling and numbness).
 
Others: rarely - folliculitis (inflammation of the hair follicle), secondary infection.
 
When using external forms of GCS for a long time and / or when used on large areas of the skin, or using occlusive dressings, side effects typical for GCS of systemic action may occur, including adrenal insufficiency and Itsenko-Cushing's syndrome.

Interaction

Studies of the interaction of the drug Tetraderm with other drugs have not been carried out, but it is not recommended to use it simultaneously with other drugs for external use.

Overdose

Symptoms: with long-term use of local corticosteroids in high doses, it is possible to suppress adrenal function with the development of secondary adrenal insufficiency and symptoms of hypercortisolism, including Itsenko-Cushing's syndrome.

 A single overdose of gentamicin is not accompanied by the appearance of any symptoms. Prolonged use or use in doses exceeding the recommended ones can lead to a significant growth of insensitive microflora, incl. fungal, in the lesion focus.
 
An overdose of econazole when applied externally does not lead to the appearance of any symptoms.

Overdose of dexpanthenol when used topically is not expected to cause any symptoms.

 Treatment: symptomatic. Acute symptoms of hypercortisolism are usually reversible.

 Correction of electrolyte imbalance is indicated if necessary. In case of uncontrolled growth of insensitive microorganisms or the development of a fungal infection, treatment should be discontinued and appropriate therapy should be selected.

Special instructions

The drug Tetraderm is not intended for use in ophthalmology. Do not allow the drug to get into the eyes or on the periorbital area. Tetraderm cream is not recommended for use on the face and scalp. It is not recommended to use the drug under occlusive dressings, except when necessary. It should not be used to treat varicose ulcers of the leg and open wounds.

Certain areas of the body (groin folds, armpits and perianal region) are more at risk of striae, therefore, the duration of use of the drug in these areas of the body should be limited. If irritation or signs of hypersensitivity are noted when using the Tetraderm drug, treatment should be discontinued and the patient should be selected for another therapy. Any side effects that occur with the use of systemic corticosteroids, including inhibition of the function of the adrenal cortex, can be observed with external use of corticosteroids. Systemic absorption of local corticosteroids may increase with prolonged use, treatment of large body surfaces, or the use of occlusive dressings.

 In such cases, the development of side effects characteristic of systemic GCS is possible. It should be borne in mind that GCS can change the manifestations of some skin diseases, which can complicate the diagnosis. In addition, the use of GCS can be the cause of delayed wound healing. With prolonged therapy with GCS, a sudden cessation of therapy can lead to the development of rebound syndrome, manifested in the form of dermatitis with intense redness of the skin and a burning sensation. Therefore, after a long course of treatment, the abolition of the drug Tetraderm should be done gradually.

Systemic absorption of gentamicin when applied topically can be increased when applied to large areas of the skin, especially with prolonged treatment or in the presence of skin lesions. With long-term use of the drug Tetraderm on large surfaces of the skin with impaired integrity, there is a potential for the absorption of gentamicin and, accordingly, the development of symptoms of ototoxicity and other undesirable phenomena characteristic of gentamicin when used systemically. The development of cross-allergic reactions to antibiotics from the aminoglycoside group is possible.

 With prolonged external use of gentamicin, the growth of insensitive microflora, including fungal, can be observed. In this case, as with the development of irritation, hypersensitivity reactions and superinfection, treatment must be discontinued and appropriate therapy prescribed.
