Hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.
This product is contra-indicated in tuberculosis, anal thrush and most viral lesions of the skin including herpes simplex, vaccinia and varicella.
Since the use of occlusive dressings may increase the risk of sensitivity, such dressings should be avoided.
Uniroid-HC Ointment is not recommended for use in children unless recommended by a doctor.
This medicinal product contains cetostearyl alcohol. This may cause local skin reactions, such as contact dermatitis.
No interactions have been reported.
There is inadequate evidence of safety in human pregnancy. Topical administration of corticosteroids to pregnant animals can cause abnormalities of foetal development including cleft palate and intra-uterine growth retardation. There may, therefore, be a very small risk of such effects in the human foetus.
Uniroid-HC Ointment can be used post-partum, provided the mother is not breast-feeding.
Not relevant.
Recurrent or prolonged application may increase the risk of contact sensitisation particularly to cinchocaine. The possibility of systemic absorption should be borne in mind when prescribing preparations containing corticosteroids which can cause adrenal suppression in large doses.
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the Yellow Card Scheme at: www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard or search for MHRA Yellow Card in the Google Play or Apple App Store.
