Aristocort: Cream for Treating Inflammation

What is Aristocort?
Aristocort is a cream that contains an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid, which is used to relieve inflammation and allergic skin reactions, such as rashes, itching, or dermatitis. The active ingredient in this medication is triamcinolone, which helps reduce the immune system's response that causes inflammation.

Mechanism of Action of Aristocort
Triamcinolone, the active ingredient in Aristocort, works by inhibiting the production of chemicals in the body that trigger inflammation, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This helps reduce swelling, redness, and itching.

How to Use Aristocort

  • Apply a thin layer to the affected skin area 1-2 times a day as directed by your doctor.

  • Avoid applying this medication to broken skin or areas with infections.

  • Do not use it on the face or near the eyes unless prescribed by a doctor.

Dosage and Administration Recommendations

The use of Aristocort should follow the recommendations of a healthcare professional. Overuse may lead to undesirable side effects.

  • Apply a thin layer only to the affected area.

  • Use strictly as directed by the doctor.

  • Avoid long-term use without the doctor’s guidance.

Possible Side Effects

The use of Aristocort may cause some side effects, such as:

  • Dry or irritated skin

  • Changes in skin color

  • Allergic reactions, such as redness or swelling

If any severe adverse reactions occur, stop using the medication and consult a doctor immediately.

Opinions from Doctors and Pharmacists

Our medical team says, "The use of Aristocort is safe when used according to the appropriate guidelines. However, it is advisable to consult a doctor before use to prevent any potential side effects."

The pharmacist recommends, "This cream should be used according to the doctor's or pharmacist's instructions, and it should not be used in excessive amounts."

Body Mass Index calculator

Being overweight or underweight can reduce fertility, so it is important to keep your body weight within the normal healthy range.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indication of your body weight and can be calculated by dividing weight by height. You should aim for a BMI of between 20 and 25, as this will optimise your chances of conception.

Woman’s BMI below 19

Even in these modern times, nature knows best. If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

Being underweight

If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

BMI’s greater than 30

This can reduce fertility by 50%. Pregnancy for women with a 30+ BMI is often associated with problems such as maternal diabetes, high blood pressure, big babies and increased risk of caesarean section.
