Introduction
Resdermovate-F Cream is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. A thin layer of the medicine should be applied only to the affected areas of the skin with clean and dry hands. Wash your hands before and after applying the medicine. If it gets into your eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina rinse with water. It may take several days to weeks for your symptoms to improve, but you should keep using this medicine regularly. The course of the treatment should be completed to ensure better efficacy of the medicine. If your condition does not improve or gets worse, you should talk to your doctor.
Directions for Use
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying unless hands are the affected area.
How it works
Resdermovate-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.

The dose would depend on the condition for which it is prescribed. Wash your hands after using the cream, unless you are treating an infection on your hands. Avoid any contact with your eyes.
What precautions should be taken while using Resdermovate-F Cream?
To ensure safe use, do not apply Resdermovate-F Cream to your face or have it come into contact with your eyes. Do not use a bandage or dressing on the area being treated, as this may increase absorption and lead to side effects. Only use Resdermovate-F Cream for the condition it is prescribed for. Avoid using it for other conditions without consulting your doctor.
Why should you complete the full course of treatment with Resdermovate-F Cream?
It's essential not to stop using Resdermovate-F Cream until advised by your healthcare provider, even if you feel better. Complete the full course of treatment as directed, as symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cleared.
How should you store and dispose of Resdermovate-F Cream?
Keep Resdermovate-F Cream in its original packaging or container, tightly closed. Store it according to the instructions on the pack or label. Dispose of any unused medicine properly, making sure it's not consumed by pets, children, or other individuals.
What are the potential consequences of using a higher dose of Resdermovate-F Cream for an extended period?
Using Resdermovate-F Cream in higher doses and for longer periods may lead to changes in your skin at the application site. Your skin may become thinner and weaker, causing visible veins or increased hair growth. The medicine may be absorbed into your bloodstream, potentially leading to weight gain, high blood pressure, or a rounded face. If you experience worsening symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Are there any specific conditions or allergies that make it inadvisable to use Resdermovate-F Cream?
Using Resdermovate-F Cream may be harmful if you have known allergies to its components or excipients. Avoid using the cream on fungal infections (ringworm or athlete's foot), viral infections (herpes or chickenpox), acne, or rosacea. Consult your doctor before using it for any condition.
