Overdose of Dermizol G in details

When a dose is taken in higher dose than the recommended doses, it is called Overdose. Overdose always needs a clinical supervision. Any medicine or drug when consumed in Overdose produces untoward side effects on one or various organs in the body. A medicine is excreted in the kidney or metabolized in the liver most of the times. This process goes without any hurdles when taken in normal dose, but when taken in an overdose, the body is not able to metabolize it or send it out properly which causes the effects of anoverdose.

Symptoms: Excessive or prolonged use of topical corticosteroids can suppress pituitary-adrenal function, resulting in secondary adrenal insufficiency and produce manifestations of hypercorticism, including Cushing's disease.

A single overdose of Gentamicin (Dermizol G) would not be expected to produce symptoms. Excessive or prolonged use of topical antibiotics may lead to overgrowth of lesions by fungi or nonsusceptible organisms.

Treatment: Appropriate symptomatic treatment is indicated. Acute hypercorticoid symptoms are usually reversible. Treat electrolyte imbalance, if necessary. In case of chronic toxicity, slow withdrawal of corticosteroids is advised.

If overgrowth by nonsusceptible organisms occur, stop treatment with Dermizol G and institute appropriate therapy.

Dermizol G warnings

Warnings are a mix of Precautions. Contraindications and interactions and serious harmful effects associated with the medicine intake. A diabetic or Hypertensive patient need to be warned about few drug interactions. A known hypersensitivity patient needs to be careful about the reactions or anaphylactic shock. A pregnant woman or a breastfeeding woman should be warned of certain medications. A Hepatitis [liver disease] patient or a cardiac patient should avoid few drugs.

may cause your vision to blur temporarily after applying them into the eye. Do not drive or operate machinery until this has worn off.

Consult your doctor if after seven days of treatment with this medicine there is little or no improvement in your symptoms.

should not be used for longer than seven days, unless under expert supervision. If prolonged therapy is needed, you should have regular check-ups with your doctor so they can monitor you for adverse reactions. After more prolonged treatment (over six to eight weeks), the drops should be withdrawn slowly to avoid relapse of the condition.

Intensive or prolonged application of corticosteroids to the eye may lead to an increase in the pressure inside the eye, glaucoma, damage to the optic nerve or the formation of cataracts. Your eye specialist will want you to have regular eye check-ups to monitor for these types of side effects if you use this medicine for long periods of time.

Each container of this medicine should discarded four weeks after the first opening, because after this time the drops may be contaminated with germs. You may find it helpful to write the date of opening on the pack. Dispose of carefully, preferably by returning to your pharmacy.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Certain medicines should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, other medicines may be safely used in pregnancy or breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the unborn baby. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, before using any medicine.

The safety of this medicine for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established. It is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor for further advice.

Dermizol G precautions

Certain people who are very sick or very old or who are sensitive show an exacerbation of side effect of the drug which can turn dangerous at times. So, it is very important to remember the precautions while taking the medicine. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding are also special categories wherein extra care or precaution is needed when taking a drug. Few patients may have a hypersensitivity reaction to few medications, and that can be life-threatening rarely. Penicillin hypersensitivity is one example. Diarrhea, rashes are few other symptoms which need a watch. A patient with other co-existing diseases like liver disease, heart disease, kidney disease should take special precautions.

If irritation or sensitization develops with the use of Dermizol G, treatment should be discontinued and appropriate therapy should be instituted.

Any of the side effects that are reported following systemic use of corticosteroids, including adrenal suppression, may also occur with topical corticosteroids, especially in infants and children.

Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids will be increased if extensive body surface areas are treated or if occlusive technique is used. Suitable precautions should be taken under these conditions or when long-term use is anticipated, particularly in infants and children.

Cross-allergenicity among aminoglycosides has been demonstrated.

Systemic absorption of topically applied Gentamicin (Dermizol G) may be increased if extensive body surface areas are treated, especially over prolonged periods or in the presence of dermal disruption. In these cases, the undesirable effects which occur following systemic use of Gentamicin (Dermizol G) may potentially occur. Cautious use is recommended under these conditions, particularly in infants and children.

Prolonged use of topical antibiotics occasionally allows overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, including fungi. If this occurs or if irritation, sensitization or superinfection develops, treatment with Gentamicin (Dermizol G) should be discontinued and appropriate therapy should be instituted.

Dermizol G is not for ophthalmic use.

Use in pregnancy & lactation: Since safety of topical corticosteroid use in pregnant women has not been established, drugs of this class should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Drugs of this class should not be used extensively in large amounts or for prolonged periods of time in pregnant patients.

Since it is not known whether topical administration of corticosteroids can result in sufficient systemic adsorption to produce detectable quantities in breast milk, a decision should be made to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of Dermizol G to the mother.

Use in children: Pediatric patients may demonstrate greater susceptibility to topical corticosteroid-induced hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression and to exogenous corticosteroid effects than mature patients because of greater absorption due to a large skin surface area to body weight ratio.

Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression, Cushing's syndrome, linear growth retardation, delayed weight gain and intracranial hypertension have been reported in children receiving topical corticosteroids. Manifestations of adrenal suppression in children include low plasma cortisol levels and absence of response to ACTH stimulation. Manifestations of intracranial hypertension include a bulging fontanelle, headache and bilateral papilledema.
