Precautions

To ensure the safe and effective use of Provate ointment, consider the following precautions:

1. Allergies: Inform your healthcare provider if you have any known allergies to corticosteroids or any other ingredients in Provate ointment.
2. Medical History: Disclose any history of skin infections, diabetes, or other medical conditions to your healthcare provider before using Provate.
3. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before using Provate if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
4. Avoid Contact with Eyes and Mucous Membranes: Keep Provate ointment away from your eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
5. Do Not Use on Broken or Infected Skin: Avoid applying Provate ointment to areas of broken or infected skin unless directed by your healthcare provider.
6. Limit Duration and Amount of Use: Use Provate ointment sparingly and only for the prescribed duration. Prolonged or excessive use can increase the risk of side effects.
7. Avoid Occlusive Dressings: Do not cover the treated area with bandages or other dressings unless directed by your healthcare provider, as this can increase the absorption of the medication and the risk of side effects.
8. Sun Exposure: Limit sun exposure and avoid tanning beds while using Provate ointment, as corticosteroids can increase sensitivity to sunlight.

• Side Effects: Be vigilant for any side effects and report them to your doctor, especially if they are severe or persistent.

Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions and read the medication guide provided with the ointment for the most accurate and personalized information
