Indication

Dermotyl M lotion, 0.05% is a super-high potent topical corticosteroid formulation indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses only in patients 18 years of age or older. Treatment should be limited to 2 consecutive weeks. For moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, treatment may be extended for an additional 2 weeks for localized lesions (less than 10% body surface area) that have not sufficiently improved after the initial 2-week treatment. Any additional benefits of extending treatment should be weighed against the risk of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression before prescribing for more than 2 weeks. The total dosage should not exceed 50 g (50 mL or 1.75 fl. oz) per week.

Patients should be instructed to use Dermotyl M lotion, 0.05% for the minimum amount of time necessary to achieve the desired results.

Use in patients under 18 years of age is not recommended due to numerically high rates of HPA axis suppression.

Limitations of Use

Dermotyl M lotion, 0.05% should not be used on the face, axillae, or groin and should not be used if there is atrophy at the treatment site. Dermotyl M lotion, 0.05% should not be used in the treatment of rosacea or perioral dermatitis.

How should I use Dermotyl M?

Use Dermotyl M as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
