INTRODUCTION ABOUT TENOVATE OINTMENT

TENOVATE
OINTMENT contains Clobetasol, which belongs to the group of medicines
called Topical corticosteroids. It is used in adults and adolescents
(aged 12 years or above) to manage inflammatory skin conditions such as
psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis that have not responded to milder
steroid creams or ointments.

Psoriasis is an immune-mediated skin
disease that speeds up the growth cycle of skin cells, causing patches
of thick red skin and silvery scales, typically on the
elbows, knees, scalp, lower back, face, palms, and soles, but can affect
other places also. Eczema (also called dermatitis) includes several
different types of skin swelling, causing dry, itchy skin and rashes on
the face, inside the elbows, behind the knees, and on the hands and
feet. Scratching the skin can make it turn red, swell and itch even
more.

TENOVATE OINTMENT is not recommended for use in patients
with other bacterial, fungal, or viral infections (such as herpes
simplex, chicken pox and tuberculosis). Before using TENOVATE OINTMENT,
inform your doctor if you have a skin infection, diabetes, adrenal gland
problem, scheduled surgery, acne, plaques around your mouth, underarms,
anus, or genitals and liver diseases.

TENOVATE OINTMENT should
be used during pregnancy only if recommended by your doctor. TENOVATE
OINTMENT should be used with caution by breastfeeding women. TENOVATE
OINTMENT is not recommended for use by children under 12 years of age.
The most common side effects of using TENOVATE OINTMENT are thinning of
the skin, widening of small veins in the skin, skin discomfort and
dryness. Contact your doctor if any of your symptoms get worse or
persist.

HOW TENOVATE OINTMENT WORKS

TENOVATE
OINTMENT is a topical corticosteroid with anti-itching,
anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictive properties. It acts by blocking
the release of certain chemical mediators (prostaglandins, leukotrienes)
in the body that causes pain, inflammation and swelling. As a result,
it effectively reduces the skin redness, itchiness, inflammation,
swelling, and irritation associated with certain skin problems.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Always
apply TENOVATE OINTMENT as directed by your physician. It is for
external use only. Wash your hands before and after application. Apply a
thin layer of TENOVATE OINTMENT on the affected area. Do not cover the
affected site after applying TENOVATE OINTMENT.

Avoid contact of
TENOVATE OINTMENT with your eyes (including eyelids), ears, nose,
armpits or with other mucous membranes (such as the vagina). Do not
apply TENOVATE OINTMENT to the damaged skin.
