What Is Desonide Used For?

Desonide prescription medication is a type of medication known as a low-potency corticosteroid. Desonide cream is applied topically and is used in the treatment of mild to moderate forms of skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis. The precise way in which desonide medication helps improve dermatitis is not understood.

Desonide medication is available at a relatively low price, costing under $20 for a 15 gram tube of desonide cream 0.05% at some pharmacies. Desonide ointment and lotion coupons are available from the manufacturer or online and insurance plans may cover some of the cost of a desonide prescription. Desonide medication may also be cheaper when using a prescription discount program to buy desonide medication. Desonide should generally be stored at 20° C to 25° C. Desonide medication is also sometimes available in a hydrogel form.
