Common use
Flutivate Skin Cream is primarily used to manage various inflammatory and itchy skin conditions. This medicine belongs to a group of medications known as topical corticosteroids. In addition to its main purpose, it can also provide relief from symptoms associated with corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and other eczematous skin disorders where inflammation and itching are present.
Dosage and direction
Applying Flutivate Skin Cream involves the following steps: Ensure that the affected skin area is clean and dry before application. Apply a thin film of the cream to the affected areas once or twice daily and rub it in gently. If necessary, you can cover the treated area with a dressing after applying the cream. Wash your hands after using this cream, unless your hands are being treated. Stop using this cream once control over your symptoms is achieved or if no improvement is seen within 2 weeks; consult your doctor for further advice in such cases.
