Product Description
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. HPA 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, headaches and bilateral papilledema. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: A thin film of Quadriderm Cream should be applied to cover completely the affected area two or three times daily, or as prescribed by the physician. Frequency of application should be determined according to severity of the condition. Duration of therapy should be determined by patient response. In cases of tinea pedis longer therapy (2-4 weeks) may be necessary.
