What are the precautions for using hormone ointment

There are many precautions when using hormone ointment, including the amount to be used, the time to be used, and the people to be used, and so on. Hormone ointment actually refers to the glucocorticoid-containing topical medications, which need to be used with caution in the process of use as the medications may lead to skin atrophy, hirsutism, capillary dilatation, as well as inducing infections and other adverse reactions. 1. Avoid prolonged use. If you have to use it for a long time, you should gradually reduce the dosage before stopping the drug to avoid the stopping reaction. 2. Avoid overdose. Overdosage can lead to increased absorption in the skin, thus increasing the adverse effects of the drug. 3. Screen the population for use. Patients with diabetes, osteoporosis, hypothyroidism and renal dysfunction need to be used with caution. The elderly, as well as children and pregnant women need to weigh the pros and cons of use. Patients with severe bacterial infections should be treated with antibiotics. If any adverse reaction occurs in the process of use, it must be closely observed, for serious adverse reactions need to suspend use or symptomatic treatment.
