Dermovate Ointment contains clobetasol propionate 0.05 % w/w, a potent topical corticosteroid used to relieve inflammation and itching in severe, steroid-responsive skin conditions that have not responded adequately to weaker topical steroids. Clobetasol belongs to a class of corticosteroids that suppress inflammatory reactions in the skin and reduce redness, swelling, and irritation.

Key Benefits:

• Relieves severe inflammation, redness, and itching
• Helps control flare-ups in resistant or chronic skin conditions
• Effective where lower-potency steroids have been insufficient
• Ointment base is especially appropriate for dry, scaly, or lichenified lesions

Active Ingredient:

• Clobetasol Propionate 0.05 % w/w (equivalent to 0.5 mg per g) — a potent topical corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive properties. 

Common Uses:

Dermovate Ointment is prescribed for short-term management of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of steroid-responsive dermatoses including:
• Psoriasis (excluding widespread plaque psoriasis)
• Severe eczema and dermatitis
• Lichen planus
• Discoid lupus erythematosus
• Other resistant skin conditions unresponsive to milder topical steroids

How to Use:

Apply a thin layer to the clean, dry affected area once or twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Gently rub in until the ointment is absorbed. Use for the shortest duration necessary, typically no more than 4 weeks continuously, unless advised by a clinician. Allow time for the ointment to absorb before applying moisturizers or emollients.
