What Is Eumovate Cream?

Eumovate eczema and dermatitis cream is a moderate-strength steroid cream that relieves inflammation caused by eczema, psoriasis, and insect bites. The remedy is an effective short-term treatment that reduces redness, itching, and swelling to leave crusty skin patches feeling smooth. The cream has very few side effects and can be used on children above 12 years. Patients should discontinue the use of Eumovate cream if there is no change after seven days.

This product requires a consultation with a UK registered clinician, who will determine if the prescription is appropriate.

Description

How Does Eumovate Cream Work?

Skin becomes inflamed when the body releases inflammatory chemicals in response to an allergen or irritation. These chemicals make blood vessels widen, causing the skin or scalp to swell. Eumovate cream contains the active ingredient clobetasone butyrate. The substance is an anti-inflammatory drug that reduces swelling on the skin. It works by inhibiting the chemicals that cause bulging. This reduces inflammation and eczema symptoms. Eumovate is also available as a lotion and ointment.
