Tablet: The initial dosage of Miconazolnitraat/Hydrocortison Tablets may vary from 20 mg to 240 mg of hydrocortisone per day depending on the specific disease entity being treated. In situations of less severity, lower doses will generally suffice, while in selected patients higher initial doses may be required. The initial dosage should be maintained or adjusted until a satisfactory response is noted. If after a reasonable period of time there is a lack of satisfactory clinical response, Miconazolnitraat/Hydrocortison Tablets should be discontinued and the patient transferred to other appropriate therapy.
It should be emphasized that dosage requirements are variable and must be individualized on the basis of the disease under treatment and the response of the patients.After a favorable response is noted, the proper maintenance dosage should be determined by decreasing the initial drug dosage in small decrements at appropriate time intervals until the lowest dosage which will maintain an adequate clinical response. It should be kept in mind that constant monitoring is needed in regard to drug dosage. If, after long-term therapy the drug is to be stopped, it is recommended that it be withdrawn gradually, rather than abruptly.
Injection:
The short term effects of corticosteroids are decreased vasodilation and permeability of capillaries, as well as decreased leukocyte migration to sites of inflammation.[A187463] Corticosteroids binding to the glucocorticoid receptor mediates changes in gene expression that lead to multiple downstream effects over hours to days.[A187463]
Glucocorticoids inhibit neutrophil apoptosis and demargination, they inhibit phospholipase A2, which decreases the formation of arachidonic acid derivatives, they inhibit NF-Kappa B and other inflammatory transcription factors, they promote anti-inflammatory genes like interleukin-10.[A187463]
Lower doses of corticosteroids provide an anti-inflammatory effect, while higher doses are immunosuppressive.[A187463] High doses of glucocorticoids for an extended period bind to the mineralocorticoid receptor, raising sodium levels and decreasing potassium levels.[A187463]
Op uw huid krijgt u 1 of meer plekken met kleine schilfers (velletjes). Bij een lichte huid zijn de plekken meestal rood. Bij een getinte of donkere huid zijn de plekken meestal donkerder of lichter dan de kleur van de rest van uw huid. De randen van de plekken zijn vaak dikker.
Soms lijken de plekken op een ring, die steeds groter wordt. Daarom wordt huidschimmel ook wel ringworm genoemd. In het midden van de ring lijkt de huid weer beter te worden.
De plekken kunnen jeuken, soms geven ze een branderig gevoel.
Soms kunt u aan de zijkanten van uw vingers en op de handpalmen blaasjes krijgen (blaasjeseczeem). Dit is een reactie van uw lichaam op de huidschimmel, die op een andere plek op uw huid zit.
