Vanos
Vanos
Vanos (pronounced: vā-nŏs) is a topical medication used to treat certain skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis. It is a type of corticosteroid, which works by reducing inflammation and suppressing an overactive immune system.
Etymology
The term "Vanos" is derived from the Latin word vānus, meaning "empty" or "void". This may refer to the medication's ability to clear up skin conditions, leaving the skin "empty" of symptoms.
Usage
Vanos is typically applied to the affected area of skin once or twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider. It is important to use this medication only on the skin. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or open cuts.
Side Effects
Possible side effects of Vanos include skin irritation, burning, or redness at the application site. More serious side effects, such as skin thinning or discoloration, stretch marks, or hair growth changes, should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately.
