Ultravex Cream

Ultravex Cream is a prescription topical corticosteroid containing halobetasol, with the exact labeled amount in each tube as supplied by Dr Reddy's, India. It is used on the skin to reduce inflammation, redness, swelling, and itching from steroid-responsive skin conditions. Ultravex Cream belongs to a very potent corticosteroid class, so it is typically reserved for short-term treatment of more severe or hard-to-control rashes. It is not meant for routine daily cosmetic use or for large areas unless a doctor specifically directs it.

How it works: Halobetasol works by calming the skin’s immune response, which lowers the release of chemicals that cause redness, swelling, and itching. In cream form, it applies a thin, even layer of medication directly to the affected skin so the anti-inflammatory effect stays focused where it is needed.

Because Ultravex Cream is the cream form of halobetasol, it is designed to spread easily and absorb well into inflamed skin, which can make it a good choice for moist, hairy, or sensitive areas where an ointment may feel too greasy. Since there are no other strengths or forms listed here, this product represents the specific halobetasol cream option your doctor would choose when a very potent steroid is needed and a cream texture is preferred.

• Eczema
• Dermatitis
• Psoriasis
• Inflammatory itchy rashes
• Steroid-responsive skin conditions

• Use Ultravex Cream only on the skin as prescribed.
• Wash and dry your hands before and after applying unless you are treating your hands.
• Apply a thin layer to the affected area; do not use more cream than directed.
• Avoid covering the area with tight bandages or wraps unless your doctor tells you to.
• Do not apply it to the eyes, mouth, face, groin, or armpits unless specifically instructed.
• Use it for the shortest time needed and stop when your prescriber tells you to.

Each tube of Ultravex Cream contains halobetasol cream as labeled, a very potent topical steroid meant for external use only. The exact amount to apply and how often to use it are decided by the doctor; many patients use it once or twice daily for a short course, but the maximum amount and duration must follow the prescription for this strength.

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

Common side effects of Halobetasol may include:

• Burning or stinging where applied
• Itching or irritation at the application site
• Dry skin
• Redness or rash
• Skin thinning with repeated or prolonged use, which is more likely with this very potent strength
• Folliculitis or small bumps around hair follicles

• Ultravex Cream is a very potent topical steroid, so it should be used only under medical supervision.
• Do not use on infected skin unless your doctor tells you to, because steroids can hide or worsen infection.
• Avoid using it on the face, underarms, or groin for long periods unless specifically instructed.
• Do not cover treated skin with airtight dressings unless prescribed, since that can increase absorption.
• Use extra caution in children and older adults because skin absorption can be higher.
• Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, adrenal problems, or a large area of broken skin, as more steroid may enter the body.
• Stop and contact a clinician if the rash does not improve or gets worse after regular use.

• Other topical steroids or steroid-containing combination creams
• Strong medicines that can increase steroid effects if used over large areas, such as ritonavir or cobicistat
• Large amounts of occlusive dressings or wraps that increase skin absorption
• Other skin irritants or harsh cleansers that can worsen burning and dryness

Store Ultravex Cream tightly closed at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light, and keep it out of reach of children.
