1) WHAT DERMOVATE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Dermovate Scalp Application (called ‘Dermovate’ in this leaflet)
contains a
medicine called clobetasol propionate. It belongs to a group of
medicines
called steroids. It helps to reduce swelling and irritation.
Dermovate is used to help reduce the redness and itchiness of certain
scalp
problems. These include frequently relapsing dermatoses and psoriasis
that
have not responded to milder steroid creams, ointments, lotions or
scalp
applications.

•
if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to clobetasol propionate or any
of the
other ingredients of this medicine (listed in Section 6)
•
if you have a skin infection on your scalp
•
on a child under 1 year of age.
Do not use if any of the above apply to you. If you are not sure, talk
to your
doctor or pharmacist before using Dermovate.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using your medicine if:
•
you have previously had an allergic reaction with another steroid.
•
you are applying the liquid under an airtight dressing. These

directed to do so by your doctor.
•
If directed to cover the treated area with a dressing, make sure that
the
skin is cleansed before a fresh dressing is applied to prevent
infections.
