TENOVATE 15 (Clobetasol (0.05% w/w))

Tenovate Ointment is classified within the steroid category of medications and is utilized for addressing a variety of dermatological conditions including dermatitis, eczema, and allergic reactions. The primary mechanism of action involves alleviating symptoms such as inflammation, redness, and itching on the skin, thereby helping to prevent further irritation. This ointment is intended solely for external application and should be utilized strictly according to the instructions provided by a healthcare professional. Before applying the ointment, it is essential to cleanse and dry the affected area thoroughly. A thin layer of the medication should be applied, ensuring to avoid contact with sensitive areas like the eyes, nose, or mouth. In the event of accidental exposure to these regions, it is important to rinse them with ample amounts of water. Additionally, unless specifically instructed by a healthcare provider, avoid the use of occlusive dressings, such as bandages, over the treated area. While Tenovate Ointment may lead to temporary effects such as thinning of the skin, a burning sensation, irritation, redness, and localized swelling, these symptoms typically resolve on their own over time. If any adverse reactions persist or escalate, it is crucial to inform your healthcare provider. Due to potential risks, the use of this medication is not advised for children, and pregnant or nursing individuals should seek medical advice prior to use.
