Onvate Cream is typically used to treat various inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. The active ingredient is usually clobetasol propionate, which is a potent corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, itching, and redness.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Mild burning, stinging, or itching at the application site
• Skin dryness or cracking
• Redness or rash

Serious side effects (though rare and more likely with prolonged use or over large areas) may include:

• Skin thinning or discoloration
• Stretch marks
• Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching/swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing)
• Increased hair growth
• Acne
• Folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles)

Precautions:

• Allergies: Inform your doctor if you are allergic to clobetasol or any other corticosteroids or ingredients in the cream.
• Medical History: Discuss your medical history with your doctor, especially if you have skin infections, diabetes, immune system problems, or any other skin conditions.
• Application: Apply the cream as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice a day. Apply a thin layer to the affected area and gently rub in. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Do not apply to broken or infected skin unless directed by your healthcare provider.
• Children: The use of this cream in children should be closely monitored by a healthcare provider, as they are more sensitive to the effects of corticosteroids.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before using this cream if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Prolonged Use: Do not use this cream for longer than prescribed as prolonged use of corticosteroids can lead to skin thinning and other side effects. It is usually recommended to not use potent corticosteroids like clobetasol for more than 2 consecutive weeks without medical advice.

Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions and read the patient information leaflet provided with the medication for the most accurate and personalized guidance.
