ROVATE OINTMENT is a prescription topical steroid used to treat various inflammatory skin conditions that cause redness, swelling, and severe irritation. It is commonly prescribed to manage flare-ups from conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and different types of dermatitis. By targeting the source of the irritation directly on the skin, it helps restore comfort and calm active flare-ups.
To achieve the best results, you must apply ROVATE OINTMENT consistently and exactly as directed by your doctor, which is typically once or twice daily. Apply a thin layer of the medication only to the affected areas of clean, dry skin. Combining this treatment with a gentle, fragrance-free daily moisturiser and avoiding personal skin triggers can significantly improve your skin's healing process.
While using ROVATE OINTMENT, you may experience mild and temporary local side effects, such as a slight burning or stinging sensation when first applied. These reactions are usually harmless, but you should contact your doctor immediately if you notice more serious issues, such as thinning skin, unusual stretch marks, or signs of a skin infection.
Before you begin using this medicine, talk to your doctor if you have any active skin infections, poor blood circulation, or skin thinning. Do not use this medicine if you have untreated skin infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, as topical steroids can weaken your skin's ability to fight them off.
Avoid using ROVATE OINTMENT at the same time as other topical steroid creams to prevent excessive absorption into your body and minimise the risk of skin damage. Always consult your doctor before using this medication if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing skin conditions in elderly individuals, as these groups require careful monitoring.

ROVATE OINTMENT is used to treat swelling, itching redness, heat, and pain caused due to certain skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches), dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin).
ROVATE OINTMENT works by inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling.
You should use ROVATE OINTMENT on your face only if your doctor specifically advises you to do so. The skin on the face is thinner and more sensitive than other areas of the body, making it more prone to side effects such as skin thinning, discoloration, and acne-like eruptions. Avoid prolonged use on the face and do not use it for longer than recommended by your doctor
You are recommended to use ROVATE OINTMENT for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. However, if the condition does not improve after 2 weeks of treatment with ROVATE OINTMENT, please consult a doctor.
If you have psoriasis, you are recommended to use ROVATE OINTMENT as advised by your doctor only. You are advised to apply ROVATE OINTMENT under an airtight dressing if you have thick patches of psoriasis on knees or elbows. However, if you experience any difficulty while using ROVATE OINTMENT, please consult a doctor.
No, ROVATE OINTMENT is not recommended to treat acne as it may worsen the condition. ROVATE OINTMENT is only used to reduce itching, swelling and redness caused due to certain skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema or dermatitis. However, please consult a doctor before using ROVATE OINTMENT.
No, you are not recommended to stop using ROVATE OINTMENT without consulting your doctor as it may worsen the condition. Therefore, take ROVATE OINTMENT for as long as your doctor has prescribed it, and if you experience any difficulty while taking ROVATE OINTMENT, please consult your doctor.
No, you should never use ROVATE OINTMENT to treat a diaper rash on infants or young children unless a paediatrician explicitly prescribes it. Diapers act as an airtight cover, which can dangerously increase the amount of medicine absorbed into the child's body and cause serious hormone-related side effects. Talk to your doctor.
It is best to avoid applying makeup over the treated area of skin. If you must use cosmetics, apply ROVATE OINTMENT first, wait for it to absorb completely into the skin, and then gently apply your makeup. Talk to your doctor.
If this medication accidentally gets into your eyes, it can cause severe irritation or even increase the pressure inside your eye. Rinse your eyes immediately and thoroughly with large amounts of cool water, and seek medical advice if you experience changes in your vision or persistent pain. Talk to your doctor.
If you are breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using ROVATE OINTMENT. If your doctor advises that it is safe to use, avoid applying the cream to your chest or breasts to prevent the infant from accidentally swallowing the medicine or making direct skin contact with it. Talk to your doctor.
Because ROVATE OINTMENT is applied directly to the skin, very little of the medication enters your bloodstream when used correctly, meaning weight gain is highly unlikely. However, using too much over large areas of the body or under tight dressings for a long time can lead to systemic absorption, which may cause hormone changes and weight gain. Talk to your doctor.
No, ROVATE OINTMENT does not treat fungal skin infections like athlete's foot or ringworm. In fact, applying a topical steroid to a fungal infection can make the infection worse by suppressing your skin's local immune defence. Talk to your doctor.
