Temovate E Cream

The active ingredient in Temovate E is clobetasol propionate. Clobetasol is a topical corticosteroid. When placed on the skin, it performs several functions. It inhibits the inflammatory molecules that produce redness, itching, and swelling. This helps to reduce skin inflammation. It also lowers the rate at which new skin cells are produced. This can help reduce the number of patches or scales associated with some skin conditions (such as psoriasis). Finally, it lowers the body's immunological reaction. This can help with skin conditions related to an overactive immune system (such as eczema).

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Temovate E. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Temovate E:

• Apply a thin layer to the affected area once or twice a day, as prescribed by your doctor.
• Gently rub it in until it vanishes; do not use excessive amounts or cover the area with bandages unless instructed to do so.
• Avoid using it on broken skin, the face (unless prescribed), the groin, or the underarms.

When Temovate E is taken with other prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements, it may change how they work or increase the frequency or severity of side effects. Make sure that you tell your healthcare professional about anything that you are taking to avoid any negative drug interactions, including:
