Verdeso Side Effects

Verdeso is one of many brand names in the United States for the generically named drug desonide. It is a corticosteroid medication prescribed for the relief of symptoms of skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis, the Mayo Clinic reports. Verdeso is a topical medication, meaning it is applied directly to the affected area of the skin. It may help to reduce symptoms such as discomfort, swelling, itching and redness of the skin. There are no reported common serious side effects of the medicine.

Pain

Using the Verdeso foam can induce such common non-serious side effects as pain. This may occur as aches and pains throughout your body. It also may manifest as headaches and as a sore throat. These kinds of side effects typically occur only when you first use Verdeso and generally go away by themselves for most people. Contact your physician, however, if these side effects continue for more than a week.

Flu-like Side Effects

Along with throat soreness, Verdeso also may produce other side effects that are not serious that resemble flu or cold symptoms. For example, you may experience chills throughout your body, even when it is warm around you. You also may develop a cough and your ears and nose may become congested. Fevers---meaning a bodily temperature of more than 98.6 degrees F---also are common when first applying the drug to your skin. You also may get a runny nose and you may sneeze. If you do not have the flu or a cold and these effects continue more than a few days, tell your doctor.

Breathing Side Effects

Verdeso can have a temporary affect on your respiratory system, too. This can give you such problems as difficulty breathing, which may include shortness of breath. These difficulties also should pass shortly.

Fatigue and Voice Side Effects

The use of Verdeso foam can cause a problem in your body that makes you feel as if you have just exercised a lot. This fatigue can take the form of bodily weakness and abnormal tiredness. Another common temporary side effect of Verdeso classified as not serious is losing your ability to speak. This may be disconcerting, but it should be short-lived. Again, consult your physician if it persists.
