The duration of treatment will not exceed 4 weeks.
On average, 1 to 2 ml per day, or 10 to 20 sprays.

How To Take KENALCOL ?

Certain skin conditions make gradual cessation desirable. It can be obtained by reducing the frequency of applications and / or by using a less strong or less dosed corticosteroid.

how does KENALCOL work?

ASSOCIATION OF A DERMOCORTICOIDE OF MODERATE ACTIVITY, OF A KERATOLYTIC AND OF AN ANTISEPTIC.

(D: dermatology).

Topical corticosteroids are classified into 4 activity levels according to skin vasoconstriction tests: very strong, strong, moderate, weak activity.
Kenalcol, solution for skin application is a combination of a corticosteroid of moderate activity, a keratolytic and an antiseptic, benzalkonium chloride, of the quaternary ammonium class.
Triamcinolone acetonide is the essential active substance.
Active on certain inflammatory processes (for example: contact hypersensitivity) and the pruritic effect which is linked to them.

Vasoconstrictor.

By adding salicylic acid, the stratum corneum is more permeable to the corticosteroid. At the same time, the reservoir function of the stratum corneum decreases and higher corticosteroid concentrations are found in the dermis than with corticosteroid alone.

KENALCOL Side Effects

Redness, burning sensation after application.

Due to the presence of a corticosteroid :

The prolonged use of corticosteroids of moderate activity can cause skin atrophy, telangiectasias (to be feared particularly on the face), stretch marks (at the root of the limbs in particular, and occurring more readily in adolescents), ecchymotic purpura secondary to atrophy, skin fragility.
On the face, corticosteroids can create perioral dermatitis or worsen rosacea (see contraindications, warnings and precautions for use).
A delay in healing of sluggish wounds, bedsores, leg ulcers may be observed (see contraindications).
Possibility of systemic effects (see warnings and precautions for use: cushingoid syndrome, growth retardation, acute adrenal insufficiency).
Acneiform or pustular eruptions, hypertrichosis, depigmentations have been reported.
Secondary infections, particularly under an occlusive dressing or in the folds, and allergic contact dermatoses have also been reported during the use of local corticosteroids.

Warnings and Precautions

WARNINGS

Prolonged use on the face of corticosteroids of very strong, strong or moderate activity exposes the occurrence of corticosteroid-induced dermatitis and, paradoxically, corticosteroid, with rebound after each stop. A gradual weaning, particularly difficult, is then necessary.
Due to the passage of the corticosteroid into the systemic circulation, treatment over large areas or under occlusion may cause the systemic effects of systemic corticosteroid therapy, particularly in infants and toddlers. They consist of a cushingoid syndrome and a slowing of growth. These accidents disappear when treatment is stopped, but abrupt cessation can be followed by acute adrenal insufficiency.
Under the same conditions, salicylic acid can be responsible for salicylic intoxication.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

In infants, it is preferable to avoid corticosteroids of very strong, strong or moderate activity. One should be particularly wary of spontaneous occlusion phenomena which may occur in folds or under layers.
This medication should be used with caution, especially in children, in all circumstances likely to favor a systemic passage.
In the event of renal insufficiency, the treatment of a skin affection of great extent requires special monitoring because of the possible effects caused by the transcutaneous absorption of salicylic acid.
In the event of bacterial or mycotic infection of a corticosensitive dermatosis, precede the use of the corticosteroid with a specific treatment.
If a local intolerance appears, the treatment must be interrupted and the cause must be sought.

PREGNANCY & BREAST-FEEDING & FERTILITY

Pregnancy

No teratogenicity studies have been performed with topical corticosteroids.
However, studies concerning the intake of oral corticosteroids have not revealed a higher risk of malformation than that observed in the general population.
Therefore, this medication can be prescribed during pregnancy if needed.

Breastfeeding

Do not apply to the breasts during breastfeeding, because of the risk of ingestion of the product by the newborn.
