How should I use Hybrisil?

HybriSil™ topical gel is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses, including those associated with the formation of scar tissue.

HybriSil™ (methylprednisolone acetate 1%) silicone gel should be applied to the affected area as a thin film two or three times daily depending on the severity of the condition. Occlusive dressings may be used for management of recalcitrant conditions. If an infection develops, the use of occlusive dressings should be discontinued and appropriate antimicrobial therapy instituted.

Topical corticosteroids are contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparation.

What are the precautions of Hybrisil?

General: Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids has produced reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, manifestations of Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia and glucosuria in some patients.Conditions which augment systemic absorption include the application of more potent steroid use over large surface areas, prolonged use and addition of occlusive dressings.Therefore, patients receiving a large dose of a potent topical steroid applied to a large surface area or under an occlusive dressing should be evaluated periodically for evidence of HPA axis suppression by using the urinary free cortisol and ACTH stimulation tests.  If HPA axis suppression is noted, an attempt should be made to withdraw the drug, to reduce the frequency of applications, or to substitute a less potent steroid. Recovery of HPA axis function is generally prompt and complete upon discontinuation of the drug.  Infrequently, signs and symptoms of steroid withdrawal may occur, requiring supplemental systemic corticosteroids. Children may absorb proportionately larger amounts of topical corticosteroids and thus be more susceptible to systemic toxicity.  (See PRECAUTIONS-Pediatric Use) This medication contains alcohol.   It may produce irritation or burning sensations on open lesions.  If irritation develops, topical corticosteroids should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted. As with any topical corticosteroid product, prolonged use may produce atrophy of the skin and subcutaneous tissues.  When used on intertriginous or flexor areas, or on the face, this may occur even with short-term use.In the presence of dermatological infections, the use of an appropriate antifungal or antibacterial agent should be instituted.  If a favorable response does not occur promptly, the corticosteroid should be discontinued until the infection has been adequately controlled.
