Patient's question:
8 months pregnant, can I use Pramesone? Can this medication relieve itching and treat eczema?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you are pregnant, it is recommended not to use this medication. One of the ingredients in Pralidoxime is Triamcinolone, which is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, anti-itching, and anti-allergic effects. For most people treating eczema, the treatment course is 2-4 weeks. Long-term use of corticosteroids is not advisable, as it may lead to drug-induced dermatitis. It must be emphasized that eczema can recur, and initial improvement may be seen during medication, but it will likely return shortly after. Long-term use is not recommended, as it may lead to steroid dependence.
