Why
is Dermovate prescribed?
Demovate
and Cormax relieve the itching and inflammation of moderate to
severe skin conditions. The scalp application is used for short-term
treatment of scalp conditions; the cream, ointment, emollient
cream, and gel are used for short-term treatment of skin conditions
on the body. The products contain a steroid medication for external
use only.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Most
important fact about Dermovate
When
you use Clobetasol propionate, you inevitably absorb some of the
medication through your skin and into the bloodstream. Too much
absorption can lead to unwanted side effects elsewhere in the
body. To keep this problem to a minimum, avoid using large amounts
of Clobetasol propionate over large areas, and do not cover it
with airtight dressings such as plastic wrap or adhesive bandages
unless specifically told to by your doctor.

should Dermovate not be prescribed?
All
forms of Demovate should be avoided if you are sensitive to or

Special
warnings about Dermovate
Demovate
is a strong corticosteroid that can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
It has caused Cushing's syndrome (a disorder characterized by
a moon-shaped face, emotional disturbances, high blood pressure,
weight gain, and, in women, abnormal growth of facial and body
hair) and changes in blood sugar.
Clobetasol
propionate should not be used for any condition other than the
one for which it was prescribed.
If
your skin becomes irritated, stop using the medication and call
your doctor.
Demovate
should not be used by children under 12 years of age.
Treatment
should not last for more than 2 weeks.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Possible
food and drug interactions
No interactions have been reported.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Special
information
Although Demovate is applied to the skin, there is no way of knowing
how much medication is absorbed into the bloodstream. Strong corticosteroids
have caused birth defects in animals. Clobetasol propionate, a
strong corticosteroid, should be used only if the potential benefits
outweigh the potential risks to the unborn baby; limit use to
small amounts, on a limited area, for a short period of time.
It is not known whether topical steroids are absorbed in sufficient
amounts to appear in breast milk. If Clobetasol propionate is
essential to your health, your doctor may advise you to stop breastfeeding
until your treatment with the medication is finished.

Overdosage
When
