How should I use Trimovate Cream?

Trimovate Cream should be used exactly as directed by your healthcare professional or according to the instructions in the patient information leaflet. It is usually applied once or twice daily to the affected area, unless advised otherwise. Before applying, ensure the skin is clean and dry, then apply a thin layer of the cream and gently rub it in until fully absorbed. Wash your hands after use, unless you are treating your hands.

Avoid applying Trimovate to large areas of skin, broken or severely damaged skin, or sensitive areas such as the eyes unless instructed by your doctor. Do not cover the treated area with dressings unless advised. If you miss an application, apply it when you remember, but do not use extra to make up for a missed dose.

What is in Trimovate?

The active ingredients are clobetasone butyrate, oxytetracycline and nystatin. Check the supplied patient leaflet for the full ingredient list and discuss any allergies with your pharmacist before use.

What are the side effects of Trimovate Cream?

Trimovate Cream may cause side effects, although many people use it without significant problems. Common side effects can include mild burning, stinging, or irritation at the application site, particularly when first applied.

With prolonged use, it may cause thinning of the skin, stretch marks, or increased sensitivity. Some people may also experience allergic reactions or worsening of the skin condition. Rarely, overuse may lead to systemic effects associated with corticosteroids.

If you notice any severe or unusual symptoms, or if your condition does not improve, seek medical advice promptly. Always use Trimovate as directed to reduce the risk of side effects.

Warnings and precautions

Trimovate Cream may not be suitable for everyone. Speak to a healthcare professional before using it if you have untreated skin infections, acne, rosacea, or if you are applying it to large areas of the body. Caution is also advised when using on the face, in skin folds, or for prolonged periods.

Because Trimovate contains a corticosteroid, excessive or long-term use may increase the risk of side effects such as skin thinning. The antibiotic component may also contribute to resistance if used unnecessarily or for extended periods. Always use the lowest effective amount and follow the instructions provided.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or using other topical treatments, consult your pharmacist or GP before starting Trimovate. Seek medical advice if symptoms worsen or do not improve.

How should I store Trimovate Cream?

Store Trimovate Cream below 25°C in a dry place, away from direct heat and sunlight to maintain its effectiveness. Always keep the tube tightly closed after use and store it out of sight and reach of children. Do not use the cream after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
