About Clovate Cream

Clovate Cream is used for the treatment of autoimmune skin disorders such as psoriasis (scaly, itchy, and red patches on the skin), lichen planus (purplish, itchy, and flat bumps on the wrists, forearms, or legs), discoid lupus erythematosus (red, coin-shaped scales or crusts on the scalp, cheeks, and ears), and eczema (red and itchy skin). Autoimmune skin disorders are conditions in which immune cells attack the body's healthy cells, causing inflammation. Clovate Cream can suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation.

Clovate Cream contains Clobetasol, an active corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties on the skin. It reduces swelling, redness, and itching by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation. Thus, Clovate Cream aids in treating skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus, and discoid lupus erythematosus.

Clovate Cream is for external use only. Follow your doctor’s instructions when using Clovate Cream. It should be used for the duration prescribed by your doctor, based on your condition. Some people may experience side effects like dry or peeling skin, skin thinning, itching, redness, swelling, irritation, or a burning sensation at the application site. These effects are usually temporary and do not require medical attention. However, if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor for guidance.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Clobetasol or any of the other ingredients present in this medicine. Do not use Clovate Cream to treat acne, rosacea (facial flushing on and around the nose), perioral dermatitis (red or scaly rashes around the mouth), anogenital pruritis (itching around the anus or genitals), itchy, broken, or infected skin which is not inflamed, and widespread plaque psoriasis (except single lesions). While applying, make sure it does not come in contact with the eye. If Clovate Cream accidentally comes in contact with the eyes, rinse with warm water thoroughly. Please do not use it on unaffected areas or for other skin infections without informing your doctor. Do not use Clovate Cream in children under 12 years of age without a doctor's advice.

What if I have taken an overdose of Clovate Cream

Avoid using Clovate Cream in excessive amounts or for longer durations than prescribed, as it may not provide faster or more effective results and could increase the chances of side effects.

Drug Warnings

Inform your doctor before using Clovate Cream if you have previously had an allergic reaction (hypersensitivity) to another steroid. If there is an overdose, clean the area thoroughly and reapply the medicine. Apply the medication carefully if you are using it on eyelids or near the eyes, as there is a risk of cataracts or glaucoma if the drug enters the eye frequently. Clovate Cream can enter the skin easily and may cause skin thinning because of repeated application. So, apply it carefully when using it on broken or damaged skin and large surface areas of skin. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience vision problems or any other abnormal signs. Do not use Clovate Cream at the same time as other creams or ointments, such as a moisturiser.
