Frequently asked Questions about Tezcort 6S Ointment

Tezcort is used for the short-term treatment up to 2 weeks and if required then maximum up to 4 weeks. You are advised to use it as directed by your doctor. Do not use this medicine longer than prescribed by your doctor to avoid the unpleasant side effect.

Question over 5 years ago

Does Tezcort lighten skin?

Dr. Vedprakash Verma MBBS, MD , Cardiology

Yes, Tezcort might lighten skin because it causes skin atrophy (skin thinning) which reduces the darkness of the skin. However, Tezcort is not approved for skin lightening and should not be used for this purpose because it can cause unpleasant side effects.

Question over 5 years ago

Does Tezcort cause dry skin?

Dr. Madhur Anand MBBS, MS , General Surgery

Yes, Tezcort might cause dry skin in few cases only. However, the exact cause behind dry skin is unknown. If you are experiencing excessive dryness of skin after applying this drug then you are advised to use a skin moisturizer. Skin moisturizer should be applied only after 30 minutes of applying this drug so that the Tezcort can be absorbed by the skin.

Question over 5 years ago

Can Tezcort be used for ringworm?

Dr. B. K. Agrawal MBBS, MD , Cardiology, General Physician, Internal Medicine

No, Tezcort alone should not be used for ringworm because it is a fungal infection of the skin caused by fungi such as Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum and Tezcort is not an antifungal agent and it is not effective against fungi. Hence Tezcort should not be used for the treatment of ringworm. For the treatment of ringworm, you can use a combination of Tezcort and antifungal drugs such as miconazole and fluconazole.

Question almost 6 years ago

How does Tezcort work?

Dr. Haleema Yezdani MBBS , General Physician

Tezcort contains clobetasol which is presumed to work by promoting the induction of inhibitory proteins (lipocortins) in the body. Lipocortins prevents the release of arachidonic acid which causes synthesis and release of certain chemicals such as histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins that causes inflammation. In this way Tezcort prevents the skin inflammation which provides relief to the patient from rash, itching, and redness.
