Introducing janunide

Desonide is a mild to moderate potency corticosteroid used to reduce and relieve inflammation and itching caused by skin conditions such as eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and diaper or sweat rash. Both Janunide ointment and gel contain 0.05% desonide. Janunide gel can be used in adults and children three months and older. The gel form provides faster efficacy compared to other topical forms and, in addition to its anti-inflammatory effect, has a cooling effect, making it suitable for hairy and moist areas of the body such as the scalp, underarms, and external genital area. Janunide ointment can be used in adults and children ten months and older. The ointment form has greater penetration and potency than other topical forms, making it suitable for areas with thicker skin, such as the palms, elbows, and feet, as well as for dry skin and hyperkeratotic lesions.

FAQ

  • Can Janunide be used instead of other corticosteroids? What is the difference between Janunide and other corticosteroids?
    • Desonide is a moderate-potency corticosteroid. Janunide ointment is safe for adults and children ten months and older, and Janunide gel is safe for children three months and older. Stronger corticosteroids carry more side effects and are contraindicated in children.
  • What is the difference between Janunide gel and ointment?
    • Both contain 0.05% desonide. The gel acts faster than other topical forms, has an anti-inflammatory and cooling effect, and is suitable for hairy and moist areas such as the scalp, underarms, and external genital area. The ointment has greater penetration and potency, making it suitable for thicker skin areas like the palms, elbows, and feet, as well as dry skin and hyperkeratotic lesions.
  • Will eczema and itching return after stopping the medication?
    • Depending on the type of condition and re-exposure to irritants or allergens, lesions may recur.
  • Can Janunide gel be used for rosacea-related redness instead of Januno-Brim gel?
    • Januno-Brim gel is specifically for rosacea redness. Due to the different mechanism of action, Janunide gel does not treat rosacea.
  • What if Janunide is accidentally exposed to direct sunlight?
    • If exposure is less than one hour, the product can still be used, although its effectiveness may decrease. Exposure for more than one hour or inside a car in summer may destroy the formulation, and a new product should be obtained.
  • What if Janunide is accidentally frozen?
    • For the gel form, the formulation is damaged, and a new product must be purchased. For the ointment, if the consistency and appearance are unchanged, it can be used, but it is preferable to replace it with a new Janunide ointment.

    • Wipe the area with a clean tissue and rinse thoroughly with water. Do not try to remove it by licking or swallowing.
  • What if the patient swallows the medication?
    • Swallowing may cause gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea and diarrhea. Rinse the mouth with plenty of water and immediately go to a hospital. Do not induce vomiting.
  • What if the medication contacts the eyes?
    • Do not rub the eyes. Rinse immediately with plenty of water for several minutes, opening and closing the eyes repeatedly. If eye irritation persists, consult a doctor.
  • How long is the medication usable after opening?
    • If stored according to the instructions on the package, it is usable up to 90 days. At the end of 90 days, color, odor, and consistency can help assess stability. Typically, the product is consumed within 90 days under normal use.
