How it works
Cloviva F Cream is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Fusidic Acid. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.
Quick Tips
Do not use it more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor. Consult your doctor if your skin condition has not improved after two weeks of treatment. Do not use it for longer than prescribed as prolonged or repeated use can cause the skin to become over-sensitive to the medicine and may also result in the bacteria becoming resistant to the antibiotic.
