Common use
Azeetop is primarily indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe inflammatory dermatoses complicated by or at risk of bacterial infection. These include atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, nummular eczema, and lichen simplex chronicus. The combination therapy approach makes it particularly valuable in cases where secondary infection may compromise treatment outcomes. Dermatologists also utilize Azeetop in the management of infected psoriasis plaques and chronic hand eczema. The medication demonstrates particular efficacy in intertriginous areas where both inflammation and microbial colonization commonly coexist.
Dosage and direction
Apply a thin film of Azeetop to the affected area twice daily, typically in the morning and evening. Gently massage until the cream is fully absorbed. Wash hands thoroughly after application unless treating hands. The treatment area should be clean and dry before application. For optimal results, apply to affected areas only, avoiding surrounding healthy skin. Treatment duration typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on condition severity and therapeutic response. Do not use occlusive dressings unless specifically directed by a healthcare provider. Reassessment by a physician is recommended if no improvement occurs within 2 weeks.
Precautions
Use Azeetop under medical supervision only. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and open wounds. Discontinue use if irritation develops and consult your physician. Prolonged use may increase the risk of systemic absorption and adverse effects. Use with caution on the face, groin, or axillae due to higher absorption rates in these areas. Monitor for signs of skin atrophy, telangiectasia, or hypopigmentation with extended use. Patients should be advised that this medication is for external use only and should not be used for conditions other than those prescribed. Keep out of reach of children.
Contraindications
Azeetop is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to mometasone furoate, fusidic acid, or any component of the formulation. Should not be used in viral skin infections including herpes simplex, vaccinia, or varicella. Contraindicated in fungal infections not concurrently treated with appropriate antifungal therapy. Not recommended for use in rosacea, perioral dermatitis, or acne vulgaris. Avoid use in patients with tuberculosis of the skin or untreated bacterial infections requiring systemic antibiotics. Contraindicated in children under 2 years of age.
Possible side effects
Most common side effects include localized burning, stinging, itching, or irritation at application site (occurring in approximately 3-5% of patients). Less frequently reported effects include dryness, folliculitis, hypertrichosis, acneiform eruptions, and hypopigmentation. With prolonged use or excessive application, systemic effects may occur including hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression, glaucoma, cataracts, or secondary infections. Allergic contact dermatitis may develop in sensitive individuals. Rare cases of generalized skin reactions including erythema, swelling, or urticaria have been reported.
Drug interaction
Concurrent use with other topical corticosteroids may increase systemic absorption and potential adverse effects. Caution advised when using with other topical products containing alcohol or abrasive agents due to potential increased skin penetration. Fusidic acid component may interact with statins, increasing risk of muscular effects including rhabdomyolysis. No formal interaction studies with systemic medications, but theoretical potential exists for interactions with drugs metabolized by CYP3A4. Inform your physician about all medications, including over-the-counter products and herbal supplements.
Missed dose
Apply the missed dose as soon as remembered, unless it is almost time for the next scheduled application. Do not apply double the amount to make up for a missed dose. Maintain the regular application schedule. If multiple doses are missed, contact your healthcare provider for guidance on resuming treatment. Consistency in application is important for optimal therapeutic outcomes, but occasional missed doses are unlikely to significantly affect treatment efficacy.
Overdose
Topical overdose may occur with excessive application or prolonged use beyond recommended duration. Symptoms may include severe skin irritation, increased systemic absorption leading to corticosteroid side effects, or signs of fusidic acid toxicity. Acute overdose may manifest as gastrointestinal disturbance, headache, or dizziness. Treatment involves discontinuation of the medication and symptomatic management. In cases of significant systemic absorption, medical supervision may be required to monitor adrenal function. There is no specific antidote; treatment should be supportive and based on symptoms.
Storage
Store at controlled room temperature between 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Excursions permitted between 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F). Keep tube tightly closed when not in use. Protect from excessive heat and direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Keep in original container to protect from light and moisture.
