Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for Vytone to work?
You should see improvement in symptoms, such as reduced redness and itching, within a few days. However, fungal or bacterial infections may take 1 to 2 weeks to fully clear. If your symptoms persist, consult your healthcare provider.
Can I use Vytone on my face?
Vytone can be used on the face but should be applied cautiously. Prolonged use of corticosteroids on facial skin can lead to skin thinning or irritation. Always consult your healthcare provider before applying it to sensitive areas.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Vytone?
Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember, but if it’s close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply extra cream to make up for a missed dose.
Can Vytone be used for diaper rash?
Vytone should only be used for diaper rash if prescribed by a healthcare provider, as it contains a corticosteroid and antifungal agent. Other milder treatments may be more appropriate for common diaper rashes.
Is it safe to use Vytone long-term?
Vytone should be used as directed by your healthcare provider. Long-term use of hydrocortisone can cause side effects like skin thinning, so it is typically prescribed for short-term use unless otherwise indicated by a doctor.
Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Vytone Work?
Vytone works through a combination of hydrocortisone, which reduces inflammation and itching by inhibiting the release of inflammatory substances in the skin, and iodoquinol, which has both antifungal and antibacterial properties. This combination treats inflammatory skin conditions while addressing any underlying infections caused by fungi or bacteria.
Common Dosages
- Topical cream with 1% hydrocortisone and 1% iodoquinol.
Typical Dosing
- Apply a thin layer of Vytone to the affected area 2 to 4 times daily, depending on the severity of the condition and as directed by your healthcare provider. Avoid using the cream on large areas of the body unless advised.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Treatment of eczema and dermatitis
- Treatment of fungal infections like tinea corporis (ringworm) or tinea cruris (jock itch)
- Treatment of bacterial infections that may accompany inflammatory skin conditions
Who Shouldn't Take Vytone?
- Known hypersensitivity to hydrocortisone, iodoquinol, or any other components of the cream.
- Viral skin infections (such as chickenpox or herpes simplex) without medical supervision.
- Open wounds or severely damaged skin unless otherwise instructed by a healthcare provider.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Apply Vytone sparingly to the affected area, avoiding contact with the eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes.
- Do not cover treated areas with bandages or occlusive dressings unless directed by your healthcare provider, as this may increase absorption and risk of side effects.
- Wash your hands after applying the cream unless treating your hands.
- If the infection does not improve after 1 to 2 weeks of use, or if it worsens, consult your healthcare provider.
Side Effects of Vytone
Common Side Effects
- Mild skin irritation, redness, or dryness
- Itching at the application site
- Temporary discoloration of the skin
Uncommon/Severe Side Effects
- Allergic reactions (e.g., rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)
- Worsening of fungal or bacterial infections
- Skin thinning or discoloration with prolonged use
Risks and Warnings of Vytone
- Skin Thinning: Prolonged use of corticosteroids like hydrocortisone can cause skin thinning, particularly on sensitive areas of the body. Use Vytone only for the duration recommended by your healthcare provider.
- Infection Worsening: If Vytone is applied to an area with untreated infections or viral conditions, it may worsen the condition. Consult a healthcare provider if signs of infection persist or worsen.
- Allergic Reactions: Discontinue use if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as severe redness, swelling, or rash.
Interactions with Vytone
Common Drug Interactions
- Other topical corticosteroids: Using additional topical steroids alongside Vytone may increase the risk of side effects, such as skin thinning.
- Topical antifungal or antibacterial treatments: Avoid using other similar topical treatments unless directed by a healthcare provider, as they may cause irritation or reduce the effectiveness of Vytone.
Alternatives to Vytone
- Lotrisone (clotrimazole/betamethasone): A combination of antifungal and corticosteroid used for similar fungal and inflammatory skin conditions.
- Nystatin cream: An antifungal cream used to treat yeast infections on the skin.
- Hydrocortisone cream: A standalone corticosteroid for treating inflammation and itching in the absence of infection.
- Lamisil (terbinafine): An antifungal used to treat fungal skin infections like athlete's foot and ringworm.
