Product Information Leaflet
Eumovate: What is it?
Eumovate is a brand name for a topical cream or ointment that contains the active ingredient clobetasone butyrate. Clobetasone butyrate is a type of corticosteroid, which is a group of drugs that are used to reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms such as redness, itching, and swelling.
Eumovate cream or ointment is typically used to treat skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It works by reducing inflammation in the affected area, which can help to relieve symptoms and improve the appearance of the skin.
Eumovate cream or ointment should be used as directed by your doctor. It is generally recommended to apply a thin layer of the cream or ointment to the affected area once or twice a day, depending on the severity of the condition being treated. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment to avoid side effects and achieve the best possible results.
In addition to using Eumovate as directed, it is important to take other steps to manage skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. These may include:
-
Avoiding triggers: Many people with skin conditions find that certain triggers can cause flare-ups or worsen their symptoms. Common triggers include stress, allergens, and irritants such as harsh soaps or detergents. Identifying and avoiding these triggers can help to prevent symptoms from getting worse.
-
Moisturising: Keeping the skin moisturised can help to relieve dryness and itching and prevent flare-ups. Moisturisers should be applied regularly, especially after bathing or showering, when the skin is most susceptible to dryness.
-
Avoiding scratching: Scratching can further irritate the skin and lead to infection. It is important to avoid scratching, even if the skin is itchy. Over-the-counter antihistamines or prescription medications may be used to help relieve itching.
-
Following a healthy lifestyle: Eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and getting enough sleep can help to support overall health and may also improve symptoms of skin conditions.

Eumovate: Indications
Eumovate cream or ointment is indicated for the treatment of a variety of inflammatory skin conditions such as:
-
Eczema: A chronic condition that causes the skin to become dry, itchy, red, and inflamed.
-
Dermatitis: A general term that refers to inflammation of the skin, which can be caused by a variety of factors such as irritants, allergens, or underlying medical conditions.
-
Psoriasis: A chronic autoimmune condition that causes the skin to become red, scaly, and itchy.
-
Seborrheic dermatitis: A common skin condition that causes redness, itching, and flaking, especially on the scalp, face, and chest.
Eumovate cream or ointment is generally used to treat mild to moderate cases of these skin conditions. It works by reducing inflammation and relieving symptoms such as itching, redness, and swelling.
Precautions of Eumovate:
While Eumovate cream or ointment is generally considered safe and effective when used as directed, there are some precautions that should be taken into account:
-
Allergic reactions: Some people may be allergic to clobetasone butyrate or other ingredients in Eumovate cream or ointment. If you experience a rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing after using Eumovate, you should seek medical attention immediately.
-
Skin infections: Topical corticosteroids like Eumovate can increase the risk of skin infections, especially if used for prolonged periods or on large areas of skin. It is important to use Eumovate as directed and to avoid using it on broken or infected skin.
-
Thinning of the skin: Prolonged use of topical corticosteroids like Eumovate can lead to thinning of the skin, which can increase the risk of bruising, tearing, or other skin injuries.
-
Use in children: Eumovate cream or ointment should be used with caution in children, as they may be more susceptible to side effects. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment and to speak to your GP or pharmacist before using Eumovate on a child.
-
Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding: The safety of using Eumovate cream or ointment during pregnancy or breastfeeding is not well established. It is important to speak with a healthcare professional before using Eumovate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
In summary, Eumovate cream or ointment is generally considered safe and effective when used as directed, but it is important to take precautions to avoid side effects and to speak to your GP or pharmacist if you have any concerns or questions about its use.

Eumovate: What are the side effects?
Like all medications, Eumovate cream or ointment may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. The most common side effects of Eumovate include:
- – Burning or stinging sensation on the skin
- – Dryness or cracking of the skin
- – Itching
- – Redness or rash
- – Skin thinning or discoloration
- – Skin irritation
These side effects are usually mild and go away after a short time. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, you should contact your healthcare provider.
Long-term use of Eumovate cream or ointment, especially on large areas of skin or on sensitive areas such as the face, can increase the risk of more serious side effects such as:
- – Skin infections
- – Allergic reactions
- – Increased risk of cataracts or glaucoma if used around the eyes
- – Adrenal gland suppression or other hormonal imbalances
These side effects are rare, but they can be serious. If you experience any of these side effects, you should seek medical attention immediately.
How to use Eumovate?
Eumovate cream or ointment should be used as directed by a healthcare provider or as indicated on the product packaging. Here are some general guidelines for using Eumovate:
- Wash your hands and the affected area of skin before applying Eumovate cream or ointment.
- Apply a thin layer of Eumovate to the affected area of skin and gently rub it in until it is fully absorbed.
- Wash your hands again after applying Eumovate to avoid getting the medication on other parts of your body or transferring it to others.
- Use Eumovate cream or ointment as directed by your healthcare provider or as indicated on the product packaging. Do not use more than recommended or for longer than recommended.
- If you miss a dose of Eumovate, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
- Do not apply Eumovate to broken or infected skin or use it in combination with other medications or products without first consulting with your healthcare provider.
You can use moisturisers with Eumovate cream or ointment. In fact, using a moisturiser alongside Eumovate cream or ointment can help to keep the skin hydrated and reduce dryness or itching. However, it’s important to apply the moisturiser after applying the Eumovate cream or ointment, and not before, as this can reduce the effectiveness of the medication.
It is recommended that you wait at least 30 minutes between applications of Eumovate cream or ointment. This will allow the medication to be absorbed into the skin and begin to work effectively.
