Side Effects:

• Skin Reactions: Some individuals may experience skin irritation, burning, itching, or redness at the site of application.
• Skin Thinning: Prolonged use of corticosteroids like betamethasone dipropionate can lead to skin thinning or atrophy, especially if applied to large areas of the body or under occlusive dressings.
• Stretch Marks: Long-term use may increase the risk of developing stretch marks (striae) on the skin.
• Hypersensitivity: Allergic reactions to betamethasone dipropionate are possible, though rare. Seek medical attention if you experience rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing after applying the ointment.

Precautions:

• Avoiding Contact with Eyes: Diprocort ointment should not be applied to the eyes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be discussed with a healthcare professional, as systemic absorption of the medication may occur.
• Underlying Conditions: Inform your doctor about any underlying medical conditions, especially related to the skin or immune system.
• Use on Face and Groin: Avoid using Diprocort ointment on the face, groin, or other sensitive areas for prolonged periods, as these areas are more prone to side effects.
• Use in Children: Use in children should be under the supervision of a healthcare provider, as they may be more susceptible to systemic absorption and potential side effects.

It's essential to use Diprocort ointment exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider and to follow their instructions carefully. Do not use it for longer than recommended or in larger amounts than prescribed. If you experience any adverse reactions or have concerns about its use, consult your healthcare provider promptly
