Warnings & Precautions

Topical corticosteroids can produce reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria.
Because of the potential for systemic absorption, use of topical corticosteroids may require evaluation for HPA axis suppression. Potent corticosteroids, use on large areas, prolonged use, or occlusive use may increase systemic absorption. If HPA axis suppression develops, modify treatment.
Local adverse reactions may occur with topical corticosteroids, including atrophy, striae, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, and allergic contact dermatitis, and may be more likely with occlusive use or more potent corticosteroids.
Children may be more susceptible to systemic toxicity from equivalent doses.

The most common adverse reactions (> 5%) were telegiectasia (9%), erythema (5%), itching (5%), irritation (5%), and burning (5%).

Derma-Smoothe/FS is for topical use only; not for oral, ophthalmic, or vaginal use.
