CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
Therapeutic indications
Corticoid responsive dermatoses in the absence of infection.
4.2
Posology and method of administration
Adults: Initially, Neriderm should be applied thinly twice daily. When the condition
improves or when longer periods of treatment are required one application daily is
appropriate.
Long-term continuous therapy with topical corticosteroids should be avoided, with
a usual maximum duration of 4 weeks. If used on the face, courses should be
limited to 5 days and occlusion should not be used (see section 4.4).
Children 1-4years of age: Neriderm should be applied thinly twice daily. It should
be used with great care, for short periods and generally only on the advice of a
doctor specialising in dermatology. Courses should be limited to 5 days and
occlusion should not be used.
Children 5 years of age and over: Initially, Neriderm should be applied thinly twice
daily. When the condition improves one application daily is appropriate. Courses
should be limited to 1-2 weeks. If used on the face, courses should be limited to 5
days and occlusion should not be used.
Neriderm should not be used in children under 1 year of age.
Elderly: Natural thinning of the skin occurs in the elderly. No special precautions
are required, however, when Neriderm is used in this group of patients.
Occlusive dressings: An occlusive dressing may be called for in unusually
refractory cases and usually under specialist supervision. If an infection develops
under the dressing, occlusive treatment must be terminated.
Neriderm Cream is suitable for weeping skin conditions. Neriderm Cream has a
high water and low fat content. In weeping skin diseases it allows secretions to
drain away, thus providing for rapid reduction of swelling and drying up of the skin.
Neriderm Cream is also suitable for application to moist, exposed and hairy areas
of the body.
Neriderm Ointment is suitable in very dry skin conditions which need an anhydrous
fatty base. The occlusive effect of the Neriderm Ointment base promotes the healing
process.
If the skin dries out too much under protracted use of Neriderm Cream, the patient
should be switched to a form which contains more fat (Neriderm Ointment).
4.3
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active subtance diflucortolone valtrate or to any of the
excipients listed in section 6.1.Rosacea and peri-oral dermatitis.
Acne vulgaris, undiagnosed perianal and genital pruritus, napkin eruptions,; viral
infections, primary bacterial or fungal infections of the skin. Secondary infections in
the absence of appropriate anti-infective therapy. Post vaccination skin reactions in
the area to be treated.
Neriderm is not suitable for the treatment of ophthalmic conditions.
4.4
Special warnings and precautions for use
Long-term continuous therapy with topical corticosteroids should be avoided, with a
usual maximum duration of 4 weeks irrespective of age. Adrenal suppression can
occur, even without occlusion. If used on children up to the age of 4 years or on the
face, courses should be limited to 5 days and occlusion should not be used.
Neriderm may be applied under an occlusive dressing. However, each dressing
should not be left on for more than 24 hours. Although occlusive dressings may be
used repeatedly, it should be noted that systemic corticoid absorption is likely to be
increased with a consequent increased risk of adrenal suppression. If occlusive
treatment is expected to be prolonged, it is advisable to change the dressing every
12 hours.
Neriderm should not be allowed to come into contact with the eyes.
Topical corticosteroids may be hazardous in psoriasis for a number of reasons
including rebound relapses following development of tolerance, risk of generalised
pustular psoriasis, and local and systemic toxicity due to impaired barrier function
of the skin. Careful patient supervision is important in psoriasis.
Exacerbation of skin infections may occur. Infections or secondarily infected
dermatoses require additional therapy with antibiotics or chemotherapeutic agents.
This treatment can often be topical, but for heavy infections systemic antibacterial
therapy may be necessary. If fungal infections are present, a topically active
antimycotic should be applied.
If aggravation of skin irritation develops with the use of Neriderm, treatment
should be withdrawn and appropriate therapy installed.
Allergic contact dermatitis due to topical corticosteroids and excipients can occur.
In these cases eczema fails to improve or deteriorates with treatment.
Corticosteroid hypersensitivity occurs most frequently among patients with stasis
dermatitis and leg ulceration. Such an observation should be corroborated with
appropriate diagnostic patch testing. The appropriate corticosteroid concentration
and the choice of the vehicle is crucial in detecting corticosteroid hypersensitivity
in patch tests.
Patients with an allergy to corticosteroids may cross-react to several
corticosteroids to which they have not previously been exposed.
After topical application, allergies to cross-reacting systemically applied
corticosteroids may occur.
As known from systemic corticoids, glaucoma may also develop by using local
corticoids (e.g. after large dosed or extensive application over a prolonged period,
occlusive dressing technique or application to the skin around the eyes).
4.5
Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
None stated.
4.6
Pregnancy and lactation
There is inadequate evidence of safety in human pregnancy. Topical
administration of corticosteroids to pregnant animals can cause abnormalities in
foetal development including cleft palate and intra-uterine growth retardation.
There may, therefore, be a very small risk of such effects on the human foetus
and, as a general rule, topical preparations containing corticoids should not be
applied during the first trimester of pregnancy. In particular, application to large
areas of the body or for prolonged periods must be avoided.
Side effects cannot be excluded in neonates whose mothers have been treated
extensively or for a prolonged period of time during pregnancy or while lactating
(for example, reduced adrenocortical function, when applied during the last
weeks of pregnancy).
Nursing mothers should not be treated on the breasts.
4.7
Effects on ability to drive and use machines
None stated.
4.8
Undesirable effects
Common local adverse reactions reported with Neriderm formulations in clinical
studies include burning, pruritus, erythema and irritations.
In common with all other topical corticoids, side-effects may occur when Neriderm is
applied to large areas of the body (10% or more) and for long periods of time (more
than four weeks), especially if the ointment or an occlusive dressing is being used.
There may be local signs such as atrophy of the skin, telangiectasia, striae, acneform
changes, perioral dermatitis and hypertrichosis, or systemic corticoid effects caused
by absorption. Systemic absorption can produce the features of hypercorticism.
Therefore, caution should be exercised when using occlusive dressings, as there is a
possibility that natural steroid production may be suppressed.
In rare cases, allergic skin reactions may occur.
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is
important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal
product.
Any suspected adverse events should be reported to the Ministry of Health according
to the National Regulation by using an online form https://sideeffects.health.gov.il
Additionally, you can also report to www.perrigo-pharma.co.il.
4.9
Overdose
On the basis of results from acute toxicity studies with both diflucortolone
valerate and Neriderm preparations, no acute risk of intoxication is to be
expected either after a single dermal application of an overdose (application over
a large area under conditions favouring resorption) or even after inadvertent oral
intake of a whole tube.
5.
PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
5.1.
Pharmacodynamic Properties
Diflucortolone
valerate
topically
acting
fluoridated
corticosteroid
which
suppresses inflammation in inflammatory and allergic skin conditions and alleviates
the subjective complaints such as itching, burning and pain.
Capillary dilatation, intercellular oedema and tissue infiltration regress; capillary
proliferation is suppressed. This leads to fading of inflamed skin surfaces.
5.2.
Pharmacokinetic Properties
In order to exert its antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory effects, diflucortolone
valerate has to diffuse from the preparation into the living epidermis and into the
upper
dermis.
In
vitro
penetration
studies
showed
that
diflucortolone
valerate
penetrates human skin rapidly. After application to damaged skin - as a model for
diseased skin - the local corticosteroid levels were distinctly higher than in the intact
skin.
Once in the skin diflucortolone valerate is partly hydrolysed into the similarly effective
diflucortolone.
Part
corticosteroid
applied
skin
percutaneously
absorbed, distributed into organs and tissues, metabolised and finally excreted. The
extent of percutaneous absorption and the resulting systemic load depend on a
series of factors: the vehicle, the exposure conditions (skin area dose, treatment
area, duration of treatment), condition of treatment (open/occlusive), the status of the
penetration barrier and the localisation of the treated area on the body.
After application of the radiolabelled ointment onto an intact and a “stripped” area of
skin on the back of 3 volunteers, 0.7% of the dose was percutaneously absorbed
during a 7 hour exposure period.
Following percutaneous absorption diflucortolone valerate is hydrolysed very rapidly
into diflucortolone and the respective fatty acid. 11-ketodiflucortolone and two further
metabolites have been found in the plasma in addition to diflucortolone.
Diflucortolone is eliminated from the plasma with a half-life of approximately 4-5
hours, all metabolites together with a half-life of approximately 9 hours (results after
i.v. administration). The metabolites are excreted with urine and faeces in a ratio of
75:25.
5.3.
Pre-clinical Safety Data
There are no preclinical safety data which could be of relevance to the prescriber and
which are not already included in other relevant sections of the SPC.

Posology and method of
administration
At the beginning of
treatment, Neriderm is
applied thinly twice, or
perhaps three times per
day. Once the clinical
picture has improved, one
application per day usually
suffices.
Babies children and adults
should not be treated with
Neriderm for longer than
three weeks.
Adults: Initially, Neriderm should
be applied thinly twice daily. When
the condition improves or when
longer periods of treatment are
required, one application daily is
appropriate.
Long-term continuous therapy with
topical corticosteroids should be
avoided, with a usual maximum
duration of 4 weeks. If used on the
face, courses should be limited to 5
days and occlusion should not be
used (see section 4.4).
Children 1-4years of age: Neriderm
should be applied thinly twice daily.
It should be used with great care,
for short periods and generally only
on the advice of a doctor
specialising in dermatology.
Courses should be limited to 5 days
and occlusion should not be used.
Children 5 years of age and over:
Initially, Neriderm should be
applied thinly twice daily. When the
condition improves, one application
daily is appropriate. Courses should
be limited to 1-2 weeks. If used on
the face, courses should be limited
to 5 days and occlusion should not
be used.
Neriderm should not be used in
children under 1 year of age.
Occlusive dressings: An occlusive
dressing may be called for in
unusually refractory cases and
usually under specialist supervision.
If an infection develops under the
dressing, occlusive treatment must
be terminated.
contraindications
Tuberculous or syphilitic
processes in the area to be
treated; virus diseases (e.g.
varicella,
herpes
zoster)
rosacea, perioral dermatitis
and postvaccination skin
reactions in the area to be
treated. Hypersensitivity to
the active substances or to
any of the excipients
Rosacea and peri-oral dermatitis.

time, in particular under
occlusion,

increases the risk of side

As known from systemic
corticoids, glaucoma may
also develop from using
...Long-term continuous therapy
with topical corticosteroids should
be avoided, with a usual maximum
duration of 4 weeks irrespective of
age. Adrenal suppression can occur,
even without occlusion.
If used on
children up to the age of 4 years or
on the face, courses should be
limited to 5 days and occlusion
should not be used
Neriderm may be applied under an
occlusive dressing. However, each
dressing should not be left on for
more than 24 hours. Although
occlusive dressings may be used
repeatedly, it should be noted that
systemic corticoid absorption is
likely to be increased with a
consequent increased risk of adrenal
suppression. If occlusive treatment
is expected to be prolonged, it is
advisable to change the dressing
every 12 hours.
Neriderm should not be allowed to
come into contact with the eyes.
Topical corticosteroids may be
hazardous in psoriasis for a number
of reasons including rebound
local corticoids (e.g. after
large-dose
extensive
application
over
prolonged
period,
occlusive
dressing
techniques, or application
to the skin around the
eyes)
relapses following development of
tolerance, risk of generalised
pustular psoriasis, and local and
systemic toxicity due to impaired
barrier function of the skin. Careful
patient supervision is important in
psoriasis.
Exacerbation of skin infections
may occur. Infections or
secondarily infected dermatoses
require additional therapy with
antibiotics or chemotherapeutic
agents. This treatment can often be
topical, but for heavy infections
systemic antibacterial therapy may
be necessary. If fungal infections
are present, a topically active
antimycotic should be applied.
If aggravation of skin
irritation develops with the
use of Neriderm, treatment
should be withdrawn and
appropriate therapy installed.
Allergic contact dermatitis due to
topical corticosteroids and
excipients can occur. In these cases
eczema fails to improve or
deteriorates with treatment.
Corticosteroid hypersensitivity
occurs most frequently among
patients with stasis dermatitis and
leg ulceration. Such an observation
should be corroborated with
appropriate diagnostic patch
testing. The appropriate
corticosteroid concentration and the
choice of the vehicle is crucial in
detecting corticosteroid
hypersensitivity in patch tests.
Patients with an allergy to
corticosteroids may cross-react
to several corticosteroids to
which they have not previously
been exposed.
After topical application,
allergies to cross-reacting
systemically applied
corticosteroids may occur.
As known from systemic corticoids,
glaucoma may also develop by using
local corticoids (e.g. after large dosed
or extensive application over a
prolonged period, occlusive dressing
technique or application to the skin
around the eyes)
Pregnancy and
lactation
Animal experimental
studies with
glucocorticosteroids have
shown reproductive
toxicity (cf. section
"Preclinical safety data").
A number of
epidemiological studies
suggest that there could
possibly be an increase
risk of oral clefts among
newborns of women who
were treated with systemic
glucocorticosteroids
during the first trimester of
pregnancy. Oral clefts are
a rare disorder and if
systemic
glucocorticosteroids are
teratogenic, these amy
account for an increase of
only one or two cases per
1000 women treated while
pregnant. Data concerning
topical glucocorticosteroid
use during pregnancy are
insufficient, however, a
lower risk might be
expected since systemic
availability of topically
applied glucocrticosteroids
is very low.
As a general rule, topical
preparations containing
corticoids should not be
applied during the first
trimester of pregnancy.
The clinical indication for
treatment with Neriderm
must be carefully reviewed
and the benefits weighed
against the risks in
pregnant and lactating
women. In particular, large
area or prolonged use must
be avoided.
Nursing mothers should
not be treated on the
There is inadequate evidence of
safety in human pregnancy.
Topical administration of
corticosteroids to pregnant animals
can cause abnormalities in foetal
development including cleft palate
and intra-uterine growth
retardation. There may, therefore,
be a very small risk of such effects
on the human foetus and, as a
general rule, topical preparations
containing corticoids should not
be applied during the first
trimester of pregnancy. In
particular, application to large
areas of the body or for prolonged
periods must be avoided.
Side effects cannot be excluded in
neonates whose mothers have
been treated extensively or for a
prolonged period of time during
pregnancy or while lactating (for
example, reduced adrenocortical
function, when applied during the
last weeks of pregnancy).
Nursing mothers should not be treated
on the breasts.
breasts.
Undesirable Effects
Local symptoms such as
itching, burning, erythema
or vesiculation may occur
in isolated cases under
treatment with Neriderm.
The following reactions
may occur when topical
preparations are applied to
large areas of the body
(about 10% and more) or
for prolonged periods of
time (more than 4 weeks):
local symptoms such as
atrophy of the skin,
telangiectasia, striae,
acneform changes of the
skin, and systemic effects
of the corticoid due to
absorption.
As with other
corticosteroids for topical
application, the following
side-effects may occur in
rare cases: Folliculitis,
hypertrichosis, perioral
dermatitis, skin
discoloration, allergic skin
reactions to any of the
ingredients of the
formulation.
Side effects cannot be
excluded in neonates
whose mothers have been
treated extensively or for a
prolonged period of time
during pregnancy or while
lactating (for example,
reduced adrenocortical
function, when applied
during the last weeks of
pregnancy).
Common local adverse reactions
reported with Neriderm
formulations in clinical studies
include burning, pruritus,
erythema, itching, vesiculation
and irritations.
In common with all other topical
corticoids, side-effects may occur
when Neriderm is applied to large
areas of the body (10% or more)
and for long periods of time (more
than four weeks), especially if the
ointment or an occlusive dressing
is being used. There may be local
signs such as atrophy of the skin,
telangiectasia, striae, acneform
changes, perioral dermatitis and
hypertrichosis, or systemic
corticoid effects caused by
absorption. Systemic absorption
can produce the features of
hypercorticism. Therefore, caution
should be exercised when using
occlusive dressings, as there is a
possibility that natural steroid
production may be suppressed.
As with other corticosteroids for
topical application, the following
side-effects may occur in rare
cases: Folliculitis and skin
discoloration.
In rare cases, allergic skin reactions to
any of the ingredients of the
formulation may occur.
Overdose
Results from acute toxicity
studies do not indicate that
any risk of acute
intoxication is to be
expected following a
single dermal application
of an overdose (application
