Ticovate Ointment 10g

Used For:

Ticovate Ointment is typically prescribed for the treatment of various inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It contains a corticosteroid (commonly Clobetasol propionate) that helps to reduce inflammation, itching, and redness associated with these conditions. The ointment works by suppressing the immune response in the affected area, providing relief from symptoms.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include mild burning, itching, or irritation at the application site. Prolonged use or overuse can lead to more serious side effects, such as thinning of the skin, stretch marks, or increased susceptibility to infections. Rarely, systemic side effects like adrenal suppression can occur, particularly if used over large areas of the body or for extended periods.

Precautions:

• Use only as directed by a healthcare provider, typically applied in a thin layer to the affected area.
• Avoid using on broken or infected skin unless directed by a doctor.
• Do not use for longer than prescribed to avoid potential side effects.
• Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Not recommended for use in children unless specifically prescribed by a healthcare provider.
• Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of skin infections or other skin conditions before using the ointment.
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
