Indicații terapeutice:

VERDESO® (desonide) Foam, 0.05% is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in patients 3 months of age and older. Patients should be instructed to use VERDESO Foam for the minimum amount of time necessary to achieve the desired results because of the potential for VERDESO Foam to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Treatment should not exceed 4 consecutive weeks. None. Risk Summary There are no available data on VERDESO Foam use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, topical administration of a desonide cream, 0.05% formulation during organogenesis caused malformations characteristic of corticosteroids in rats and in rabbits (see Data) . The available data do not allow the calculation of relevant comparisons between the systemic exposure of desonide observed in animal studies to the systemic exposure that would be expected in humans aft

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
VERDESO Foam has been shown to produce reversible HPA axis
suppression. (5.1, 8.4, 14)
Systemic effects of topical corticosteroids may also include
manifestations of Cushing's syndrome,
hyperglycemia, facial swelling, glycosuria, withdrawal syndrome, and
growth retardation in children. (5.1)
Because of the potential for systemic absorption, use of topical
corticosteroids may require that
patients be periodically evaluated for HPA axis suppression. (5.1,
5.5)
Modify use should HPA axis suppression develop. (5.1)
Potent corticosteroids, use on large areas, prolonged use, or
occlusive use may increase systemic
absorption. (5.1)
Pediatric patients may be more susceptible to systemic toxicity. (5.1,
8.4, 12.2)
Concomitant therapy with topical corticosteroids should be used with
caution because a cumulative
effect may occur. (5.1)
Discontinue use if irritation develops. (5.2)
Topical corticosteroids may increase the risk of cataracts and
