INTRODUCTION ABOUT TOPINATE OINTMENT
TOPINATE 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.
TOPINATE 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 TOPINATE 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.
TOPINATE OINTMENT should be used during pregnancy only if recommended by your doctor. TOPINATE OINTMENT should be used with caution by breastfeeding women. TOPINATE OINTMENT is not recommended for use by children under 12 years of age. The most common side effects of using TOPINATE 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 TOPINATE OINTMENT WORKS
TOPINATE 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.
