Based on clinical studies, it appears that side effects are unlikely with Vusion^® (miconazole/zinc oxide/white petrolatum), a prescription diaper rash ointment. Studies compared Vusion ointment with a placebo ointment (an ointment without miconazole, the antifungal medication in Vusion). Even though some side effects were reported in babies who used Vusion ointment, these side effects were just as common in the babies who used the placebo ointment.

 

Keep in mind that some apparent "side effects" of Vusion ointment may actually be symptoms of the diaper rash itself. However, if you notice something that you think may be a side effect or anything that "just does not seem right," please do not hesitate to contact your child's healthcare provider. While it may not be a Vusion side effect, he or she will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.
