Cutivate 0.05% Cream

Description

Cutivate 0.05% Cream contains the active ingredient fluticasone propionate, which belongs to a class of medications known as corticosteroids. It is a potent topical corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation, itching, and redness associated with a variety of skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis (including atopic, contact, and seborrheic dermatitis), and psoriasis. The 0.05% concentration indicates the strength of fluticasone propionate in the cream. Cutivate Cream works by activating natural substances in the skin to help reduce swelling, redness, and itching. It is applied directly to the affected areas of the skin to provide localized relief. The formulation as a cream is typically suitable for most areas of the skin, providing a moisturizing base while delivering the active medication.

Directions for Use:

The frequency of application will depend on your condition and your doctor’s instructions, but it is usually applied once or twice daily. Do not cover the treated area with bandages or dressings unless instructed to do so by your doctor. Wash your hands after applying the cream, unless your hands are the area being treated. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Use Cutivate Cream for the shortest duration necessary to control your symptoms, as prolonged use of topical corticosteroids can lead to side effects.

Precautions:

• Cutivate Cream is a prescription medication and should only be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
• Inform your doctor if you have any allergies to fluticasone propionate or any other ingredients in the cream.
• Provide your doctor with a complete medical history, especially if you have any skin infections, rosacea, acne, or thinning of the skin.
• Avoid using Cutivate Cream on the face, groin, or underarms unless specifically directed by your doctor, as these areas are more prone to side effects from topical corticosteroids.
• Do not use Cutivate Cream on broken or infected skin without consulting your doctor.
• Prolonged or excessive use of topical corticosteroids can lead to side effects such as thinning of the skin, stretch marks, changes in skin color, and increased hair growth. In rare cases, systemic absorption can occur, leading to side effects affecting other parts of the body.
• If your condition does not improve after a few weeks of treatment, or if it worsens, contact your doctor.
• Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before using Cutivate Cream, as the safety of topical corticosteroids in these situations has not been fully established.
• Keep this medication out of the reach of children.
• Store Cutivate 0.05% Cream at room temperature in a dry place, away from light and moisture.
