Eumovate Eczema & Dermatitis Cream 0.05% – 15g

Adults, Elderly, Children and Infants

Creams are especially appropriate for moist or weeping surfaces.

Apply thinly and gently rub in using only enough to cover the entire affected area once or twice a day until improvement occurs, then reduce the frequency of application or change the treatment to a less potent preparation. Allow adequate time for absorption after each application before applying an emollient.

Therapy with topical corticosteroids should be gradually discontinued once control is achieved and an emollient continued as maintenance therapy.

Rebound of pre-existing dermatoses can occur with abrupt discontinuation of topical corticosteroids especially with potent preparations.

Duration of treatment for adults and elderly

Continuous daily treatment for longer than four weeks is not recommended. If the condition worsens or does not improve within four weeks, treatment and diagnosis should be re-evaluated.

Paediatric population

Use in children under 12 years should be on the advice of a doctor.

Care should be taken when using clobetasone to ensure the amount applied is the minimum that provides therapeutic benefit.
