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.

How should you take Dermovate?

Use Demovate exactly as directed. Do not use it more often or for a longer time than ordered. Remember to avoid covering or bandaging the affected area.

Demovate is for use only on the skin. Be careful to keep it out of your eyes. If the scalp application gets into your eyes, flush your eyes with a lot of water.

A thin layer of cream, ointment, or gel should be gently rubbed into the affected area.

Do not use the scalp application near an open flame.

--If you miss a dose...

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule.

--Storage instructions...

Store at room temperature. Do not refrigerate the creams, gel, or scalp application.

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.

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.
