Tenovate Cream 30 g

Tenovate Cream 30 g is a prescription topical corticosteroid that contains clobetasol propionate, a very high-potency steroid used on the skin. Each 30 g tube of Tenovate Cream 30 g delivers clobetasol propionate cream for short-term treatment of inflammatory, itchy, and red skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis when a clinician decides a strong steroid is appropriate. It is meant for external use only and should be used exactly as directed because this strength is powerful.

How it works: Clobetasol propionate works by calming the skin’s immune response, which lowers redness, swelling, and itching. In cream form, Tenovate Cream 30 g spreads over the affected skin in a thin layer so the medicine can act locally where inflammation is present.

Tenovate Cream 30 g is a 30 g tube size of a high-potency clobetasol propionate cream, so it is usually chosen when a doctor wants a short course that can cover a limited area of affected skin. Compared with smaller pack sizes, the 30 g tube is often more practical when the same treatment plan needs a bit more cream; the cream base also spreads easily and is less greasy than an ointment, which some people prefer for moist or weeping areas. Because clobetasol is a very strong steroid, this product is not for routine mild irritation and should not be used longer than prescribed.

• Short-term treatment of eczema flare-ups
• Psoriasis on the skin
• Dermatitis with redness and itching
• Inflammatory allergic skin rashes
• Itchy, thickened skin plaques when prescribed by a doctor

• Use Tenovate Cream 30 g only on the skin, not in the eyes, mouth, nose, or vagina.
• Wash and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer exactly as prescribed.
• Rub in gently until the cream disappears; do not use more than directed.
• Wash your hands after applying, unless the hands are the treated area.
• Do not cover the area with airtight dressings unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.
• Stop using it and contact your clinician if the skin worsens, becomes infected, or does not improve as expected.

Each tube of Tenovate Cream 30 g contains 30 g of cream, not a fixed daily dose, so the amount used depends on the size of the skin area being treated. For clobetasol propionate cream, doctors usually prescribe a thin layer once or twice daily for a short period, and the exact frequency and duration should be decided by the prescriber. Because this is a very high-potency strength, the amount used per day should stay minimal and only as directed; do not exceed the prescribed amount or treatment length.

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 at the application site
• Itching after application
• Dry skin
• Skin irritation or redness
• Skin thinning with repeated or prolonged use, which is more likely with this high-potency strength
• Acne-like bumps or folliculitis at the treated site

• Use only on the skin and avoid the eyes, mouth, and open wounds unless your doctor specifically instructs otherwise.
• Tenovate Cream 30 g is a very potent steroid, so it should be used for the shortest time needed to control symptoms.
• Do not use on acne, rosacea, or untreated skin infections unless a clinician tells you to.
• Tell your doctor if the treated area is large, the skin is broken, or you need to use the cream under a bandage, because absorption can increase.
• Use extra caution in children, since high-potency steroids can be absorbed more easily through thin skin.
• Let your clinician know if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of glaucoma or cataracts.
• Do not use other steroid creams on the same area unless your prescriber approves it.

• Other topical corticosteroids applied to the same area
• Ointments, lotions, or products that occlude the skin and may increase absorption
• Strong skin-irritating products such as retinoids, exfoliants, or harsh acne treatments on the treated area
• Medicines or conditions that suppress the immune system, which may increase infection risk if the skin is treated too broadly or too long

Store Tenovate Cream 30 g at room temperature, keep the tube tightly closed, and protect it from heat and excess moisture.
