Cosvate Cream 30 g

Cosvate Cream 30 g is a topical prescription medicine containing clobetasol propionate, a very potent corticosteroid, in a 30 g cream tube. Each 30 g tube contains clobetasol propionate in the cream base used to apply directly to the skin. It is used for short-term treatment of inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, and allergic rashes when a stronger steroid is needed to reduce redness, itching, and swelling.

How it works: Clobetasol propionate works by calming the skin’s immune response, which lowers inflammation, redness, itching, and swelling. In cream form, it spreads smoothly over affected skin so the medicine can act directly where the flare is active.

Cosvate Cream 30 g is a higher-strength, high-potency steroid cream meant for areas and flare-ups that a doctor has already assessed as needing very strong treatment. The cream base is easy to spread and is often chosen when quick skin penetration and a non-greasy feel are preferred, but the 30 g pack is still meant for careful, limited use because clobetasol propionate is very potent.

• Psoriasis flare-ups
• Eczema and dermatitis
• Allergic skin inflammation
• Itchy, red, swollen rashes
• Short-term treatment of steroid-responsive skin conditions

• Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor on the affected skin only.
• Apply a thin layer of Cosvate Cream 30 g and rub it in gently.
• Wash your hands before and after applying, unless the hands are the treated area.
• Do not cover the area with tight bandages unless your doctor tells you to.
• Avoid using it on the face, groin, underarms, or broken skin unless specifically directed.
• Use it only for the number of days prescribed; do not keep applying once the flare is controlled.

Each Cosvate Cream 30 g tube provides 30 g of clobetasol propionate cream for topical use. Because clobetasol propionate is a very potent steroid, it is usually applied once or twice daily for a short period only, and the exact amount, frequency, and duration must be decided by the doctor. Do not use more than prescribed or for longer than recommended.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Clobetasol Propionate may include:

• Burning or stinging where applied
• Itching or irritation
• Dryness or peeling of the skin
• Redness at the application site
• Skin thinning with repeated use, which is more likely with a high-potency cream like Cosvate Cream 30 g
• Stretch marks or visible small blood vessels with overuse

• Use only on the skin; do not take it by mouth or use it in the eyes.
• Because Cosvate Cream 30 g contains a very potent steroid, avoid long-term use unless your doctor specifically instructs it.
• Do not use on large areas of skin or under occlusive dressings unless directed, since absorption can increase.
• Extra caution is needed in children because stronger steroid creams can be absorbed more easily.
• Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, immune problems, glaucoma, cataracts, or a skin infection.
• Do not apply to the face, groin, or armpits unless your prescriber says the benefit outweighs the risk.
• Stop and contact a clinician if the rash worsens, becomes infected, or does not improve as expected.

• Other topical steroids applied to the same area
• Other medicines that suppress the immune system
• Occlusive dressings or plastic wraps that increase skin absorption
• Topical products that can irritate skin, such as harsh exfoliants or strong acids

Store Cosvate Cream 30 g at room temperature, tightly closed, and keep it away from excess heat, moisture, and freezing.
