Tenovate Ointment

Tenovate ointment is a topical steroid that contains Clobetasol propionate. It is applied to the skin to reduce inflammation and swelling. It is effective against redness and itching caused by certain skin conditions.

What is Tenovate Ointment?

Tenovate ointment belongs to the family of medications called steroids. Patients suffering from red bumpy and scaly patches (Psoriasis), severe itchiness, and purple patches with itching and swelling can use the cream for effective relief.

The cream is not recommended for skin conditions other than those for which it has been prescribed. Misuse of the drug for skin conditions could worsen them. Overuse or overapplication of this product is not recommended either.

On average, relief is felt within two weeks. Patients should consult their doctor before discontinuing it. Any serious side effects should be reported immediately to your doctor.

Tenovate Ointment Mode of Action 

Allergies or irritation lead to an inflammation of the skin, which triggers the release of several chemicals. As a result, blood vessels widen, causing itchy, burning, and red skin.

Tenovate ointment inhibits the release of these chemicals inside the skin cells, thus reducing redness, swelling, and itching. Tenovate can help to treat dermatological problems from eczema to psoriasis, dermatitis, and other skin conditions characterized by inflammation.

Tenovate Administration

Patients must follow all the instructions given by their doctor on dosage and method of application.

Tenovate is strictly for external use. One should only use the cream on their face, underarms, and groin per the doctor's direction.

Doctors may suggest applying this medicine under an airtight dressing to the elbows and knees, depending on the patient's severity of your psoriasis.

Before using the topical cream, hand washing is highly recommended. Also, it is important to clean and dry the affected area.

Application is usually two times daily or as directed by the physician. Patients should gently rub in a thin film of medication to the affected area. Unless directed by a doctor, they should avoid bandaging, covering, or wrapping the area.

For patients who use this medication to treat their hands, washing hands is necessary after applying it. Applying this medication close to the eyes may cause glaucoma if it gets into the eyes. It is also important to avoid getting this medication into the mouth or nose.

Tenovate Dosing

The medication must be used for the condition for which it has been prescribed. It should not be used for more than two weeks in a row or more than 50 grams per week without a doctor's direction.

Once a good level of control has been achieved, the highly active skin ointment can be discontinued. When no progress is seen within two weeks, the diagnosis should be reassessed.
