adverse reactions
ADVERSE REACTIONS In controlled clinical studies the incidence of adverse reactions was low (0.8%) for Desoximetasone Cream USP, 0.05% and included pruritus, erythema, vesiculation and burning sensation. The incidence of adverse reactions was also 0.8% for Desoximetasone Cream USP, 0.25% and included burning, folliculitis, and folliculopustular lesions. The incidence of adverse reactions for Desoximetasone Gel USP, 0.05% was 0.3% with one subject reporting stinging and burning at the site of application. The following local adverse reactions are reported infrequently when topical corticosteroids are used as recommended but may occur more frequently with the use of occlusive dressings and higher potency corticosteroids. These are listed in an approximate decreasing order of occurrence: burning, itching, irritation, dryness, folliculitis, hypertrichosis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, maceration of the skin, secondary infection, skin atrophy, striae, and miliaria. Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids has produced hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, manifestations of Cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria in some patients.
