Eumovate ointment is a topical treatment for eczema and psoriasis. It contains an active ingredient called clebetasone butyrate, which is a medium-strength corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation, irritation, and redness in the skin. This medication is commonly used to treat conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, insect bites, and allergic rashes. It helps relieve symptoms associated with these conditions, such as itching and dryness.
Eumovate ointment is applied directly to the affected area, but it should be used with caution and under medical supervision, especially when used for long periods or over large areas of skin, to avoid any side effects such as skin thinning or discoloration.
