Diprolene Description
What is Diprolene
Diprolene is a prescription topical corticosteroid containing betamethasone dipropionate. In Australia it is used to calm inflammation, itch and redness in skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and certain flares of psoriasis. It is considered a potent medicine and should be used under the guidance of a clinician. Online pharmacies in Australia may guide you on selecting the right strength and formulation for your area of skin.
How to use Diprolene
Apply a thin layer to the affected skin once or twice daily as advised by your doctor. Do not apply a thick coat or use it for longer than recommended. Do not cover treated areas with tight bandages unless your clinician says it is okay. For children, use only the prescribed amount and avoid treating the face for long periods. Wash your hands after applying unless you are treating the hands themselves.
What can you expect
Most people notice relief within a few days. If your symptoms do not improve after 1 to 2 weeks, contact your clinician or pharmacist for advice. Do not stop suddenly if you have been using Diprolene for a while; your doctor may suggest tapering the amount slowly. If new symptoms appear or the skin becomes more irritated, seek medical help promptly.
Side effects and safety notes
Common side effects include thinning of the skin, stinging or burning at the application site, and temporary redness. Prolonged use on large areas or on the face can cause more noticeable thinning, pigment changes or acne-like eruptions. Less commonly, people may experience stretch marks or feel that the skin is more fragile. If you notice blurred vision, swelling around the eyes, or widespread skin thinning, seek urgent advice. Do not apply to broken skin or near the eyes unless advised by your clinician.
Australian considerations
In Australia, Diprolene typically requires a prescription, and a pharmacist can help with local guidance on how to use it safely. When ordering online, ensure the pharmacy is reputable and asks for a valid prescription. Store Diprolene at room temperature away from heat and sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children. If you are pregnant or planning pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding, discuss risks with your clinician before using this medicine. Combine with any other topical products only after professional advice to avoid interactions or reduced effectiveness.
User review
“I bought Diprolene from an Australian online pharmacy after a recent flare of eczema. It arrived quickly and was easy to apply. The itching eased within two days and the redness faded noticeably. I kept the area small and followed the label to avoid using it on the face. After about two weeks the flare was much better, and I tapered off as advised by my doctor. I did notice some thinning where I had a larger patch, so I stayed conservative with application and kept other creams separate.”
