Topinate Cream 30g contains Clobetasol 0.05% w/v, a potent topical corticosteroid. It is formulated to help manage severe inflammatory skin conditions in adults and adolescents (aged 12 years or above), particularly those like psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis that have not responded well to milder steroid treatments.
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition characterized by patches of thick, red skin with silvery scales, often found on elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. Eczema, also known as dermatitis, involves various forms of skin inflammation causing dryness, intense itching, and rashes, commonly appearing on the face, inner elbows, behind the knees, and on hands and feet.
Before you start using Topinate Cream 30g, inform your doctor if you have any existing skin infections (bacterial, fungal, or viral like herpes simplex or chickenpox), diabetes, an adrenal gland disorder, or liver disease. It is also important to tell your doctor if you have acne, plaques around your mouth, underarms, anus, or genitals, or if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to have surgery.
Topinate Cream 30g should only be used during pregnancy if specifically recommended by your doctor. Breastfeeding women should use it with caution. This medication is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. Common side effects may include skin thinning, visible small veins on the skin, skin discomfort, and dryness. If any side effects worsen or persist, please consult your doctor.

To ensure safe and effective use of Topinate Cream 30g, always follow your physician's instructions carefully. This medicine is for external use on the skin only. Before and after applying the cream, wash your hands thoroughly. Apply a very thin layer of Topinate Cream 30g directly to the affected skin area. It is important not to cover the treated site with dressings or bandages unless specifically advised by your doctor, as this can increase absorption and potential side effects.
