Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Verdeso Work?
Desonide, the active ingredient in Verdeso, works by suppressing the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. It reduces symptoms like redness, swelling, and itching associated with skin conditions. As a low-potency corticosteroid, it provides effective relief with a lower risk of side effects compared to higher-potency steroids.
Common Dosages
- 0.05% foam
Typical Dosing
- For atopic dermatitis and other inflammatory skin conditions: Apply a thin layer of Verdeso foam to the affected area twice daily. Use only as directed by a healthcare provider, and treatment should be limited to 4 consecutive weeks unless otherwise instructed.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in patients aged 3 months and older.
Who Shouldn't Take Verdeso?
- Known hypersensitivity to desonide or any component of the formulation.
- Untreated bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infections, as corticosteroids can worsen these conditions.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Shake the can well before each use, and apply a small amount of foam to the affected area. Gently rub it into the skin until absorbed.
- Do not use Verdeso on broken skin or infected areas, as it can worsen infections.
- Avoid prolonged use, especially on large areas of the skin or in young children, as excessive use can lead to systemic absorption and side effects.
- Do not cover the treated area with occlusive dressings unless instructed by your healthcare provider, as this can increase absorption and the risk of side effects.
Side Effects of Verdeso
Common Side Effects
- Burning, itching, or stinging at the application site
- Dryness or redness of the skin
- Folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles)
Uncommon/Severe Side Effects
- Skin thinning (atrophy), especially with prolonged use
- Stretch marks (striae)
- Systemic corticosteroid effects, such as weight gain, fatigue, or mood changes (in cases of long-term or extensive use)
Risks and Warnings of Verdeso
- Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis Suppression: Prolonged use of Verdeso, especially on large areas or under occlusive dressings, may lead to HPA axis suppression, a condition where the body’s production of natural corticosteroids is reduced.
- Skin Atrophy: Overuse of Verdeso can cause thinning of the skin and other skin-related side effects. It should not be used on sensitive areas like the face, underarms, or groin unless instructed by a healthcare provider.
- Pediatric Use: Children are more susceptible to systemic absorption and side effects from corticosteroids. Use caution in pediatric patients, especially when treating large surface areas or using the medication for extended periods.
Interactions with Verdeso
Common Drug Interactions
- No significant drug interactions have been identified with Verdeso when used topically, but always inform your healthcare provider about other medications and skin products you are using.
Alternatives to Verdeso
- Hydrocortisone: A lower-potency corticosteroid used for treating mild skin inflammation and itching.
- Fluticasone (Cutivate): Another topical corticosteroid used for various skin conditions, with slightly higher potency than desonide.
- Non-steroidal topical agents: Such as pimecrolimus (Elidel) or tacrolimus (Protopic), which are used to treat inflammatory skin conditions without the risks associated with corticosteroids.
