Drug Uses
Temovate cream is a topical anti-inflammatory medication
that helps reduce itching, redness, and swelling associated
with many skin conditions. Temovate cream is safe for
virtually every skin type, and produces very little
side effects.
How Taken
Apply a thin layer of Temovate cream or Ointment to
the affected skin areas twice daily. Before applying
this medicine, you should wash and dry the affected
areas. Gently rub this medicine sparingly onto the affected
areas, until it is evenly distributed. Do not cover
or bandage the skin area after applying the cream or
ointment. Be careful to keep it out of your eyes. If
the scalp application gets into your eyes, flush your
eyes with a lot of water. Follow your doctor's directions
with this medicine. Warnings/Precautions
Return to your doctor if the condition does not improve
or if it gets worse. Temovate topical alone will not
treat the condition if it is an infection. Temovate
topical is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means
that it is not known whether Temovate topical will be
harmful to an unborn baby. Do not use this medication
without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant
or could become pregnant during treatment. If it is
necessary to use Temovate during pregnancy, the smallest
amount possible should be applied, for the shortest
time necessary to treat the condition, under the supervision
of a doctor. It is not known whether Temovate passes
into breast milk. Do not use Temovate topical without
first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding
a baby. Missed Dose
Take your next dose as soon as you remember. If it is
time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go
back to your regular schedule. Do not double doses.
Possible Side Effects
No serious systemic side effects are expected unless
a large amount of Temovate topical is used for a long
period of time. If the drug is being absorbed by the
body, you may experience blurred vision, halos around
lights, an irregular heartbeat, insomnia, mood changes,
weight gain, or fatigue. If you experience any of these
or other unusual side effects, notify your doctor. Less
serious side effects are more likely to occur. You may
experience some redness, blistering, burning, itching,
or peeling. Continue to use Temovate topical and talk
to your doctor about any side effects. Other local side
effects may also occur, especially with prolonged use
of Temovate topical. These may include thinning of the
skin, prolonged redness, and stretch marks. Side effects
other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to
your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual
or that is especially bothersome. Storage
Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat
and moisture (not in the bathroom). Keep this medication
in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out
of reach of children. Throw away any medication that
is outdated or no longer needed. Overdose
When absorbed into the bloodstream over a prolonged
period, Temovate can cause disorders such as Cushing's
syndrome. If you suspect an overdose of Temovate, seek
medical attention immediately. More Information
Do not use plastic bandages, dressings, or diapers that
do not allow air to circulate to the area unless your
doctor directs you to do so. The use of occlusive dressings
can greatly increase the amount of drug the body absorbs.
If you do use an occlusive dressing, do not use it for
more than 12 hours a day. Do not use other topical products
on the treated area, unless otherwise directed by your
doctor. Disclaimer
