Indications
Eumovate cream is a topical corticosteroid medication indicated for the relief of inflammatory and pruritic symptoms associated with skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis.
Eumovate cream contains the active ingredient clobetasone butyrate, which is classified as a moderately potent steroid.
Eumovate cream is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline.
Use and Dosage
After washing your hands, apply the cream thinly to the affected area twice a day for up to 7 days. Rub it gently into the skin.
A single streak of cream from the top fingertip crease to the fingertip should be enough to treat a patch of skin equal to the front and back of one hand. Half of this amount would cover a patch of skin the same size as the palm of one hand. Wash your hands after using the cream (unless it is your hands you are treating).
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not use this cream for longer than 7 days. If the symptoms do not improve or if they worsen in the first 7 days, contact your doctor. Adults should not use more than 15g (one tube) of this cream in 7 days.
It is important to use this medication exactly as suggested by your doctor or pharmacist. If you miss an application, apply it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next application, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply a double amount to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your pharmacist for advice.
Store this medication at room temperature and keep it out of the reach of children.
