What is it used for?
Dermovate ointment is a strong and rapidly effective treatment for more resistant inflamed skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis on which milder topical steroids do not work.
Contraindications and cautions:
This preparation is for external use only. This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to one or any of its ingredients.
If corticosteroids are used long-term, on large areas of skin, raw skin, skin folds, or under airtight dressings (including nappies) they are absorbed into the body more. This increases the risk of local side effects such as skin thinning, and those on other parts of the body, such as a decrease in the production of natural hormones by the adrenal glands. For this reason, continuous, long-term use of this medicine should be avoided wherever possible, particularly in children and on large areas of skin. You should only use airtight dressings over the affected area if instructed by your doctor.
This medicine should be applied thinly and evenly to the affected area(s).
Avoid contact of this medicine with the eyes and the moist membranes lining the inside of certain parts of the body, eg mouth, nasal passages (mucous membranes). Rinse with cold water if accidental contact occurs.
Prolonged use of this medicine should be avoided. If there is no improvement in your skin after two to four weeks of treatment consult your doctor.
Certain medicines should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
