Rexiderm Plus Cream
What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Rexiderm Plus Cream for long periods?

It can cause weight gain, high blood pressure and rounding of the face. Its application could cause a change in color of skin at the site of application. Veins beneath the skin become visible due to thinning and weakening of the skin. There could be an increased hair growth. If you experience an increased severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
