Frequently Asked Questions for Trimovate
What is Trimovate Cream?
Trimovate Cream is a multi-action topical treatment formulated to alleviate itchy, inflamed skin conditions complicated by bacterial or fungal infections. It contains three active ingredients: clobetasone butyrate, a moderate-strength steroid; oxytetracycline, an antibiotic; and nystatin, an antifungal agent. It’s particularly effective for conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and nappy rash where secondary infections are suspected or confirmed.
How Does Trimovate Work?
Trimovate works through the combined action of its three active ingredients:
- Clobetasone Butyrate: A corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and itching by blocking inflammatory chemicals in the skin.
- Oxytetracycline: An antibiotic that halts bacterial growth by preventing protein production essential for bacteria to multiply.
- Nystatin: An antifungal agent that destroys fungi and yeasts, including Candida, by disrupting their cell membranes.
Together, these ingredients provide comprehensive relief for infected and inflamed skin conditions.
How to Use Trimovate Cream
- Apply a small, thin layer of the cream to the affected area once or twice daily, as prescribed.
- Avoid contact with healthy skin and sensitive areas such as the eyes or mouth.
- Wash your hands thoroughly after application unless treating your hands.
- Treatment should last no longer than 7 days. If symptoms persist, consult your GP.
- Allow the cream to absorb fully before applying other skincare products.
Side Effects of Trimovate Cream
Side effects are rare but may include:
- Localised allergic reactions or contact dermatitis.
- Skin thinning or lightening with prolonged use.
- Systemic effects (e.g. Cushing’s Syndrome) if overused or applied to large areas.
- Blurred vision or glaucoma if it comes into contact with the eyes.
If any side effects occur, stop using the cream and seek medical advice promptly.
Warnings and Precautions
- Avoid use if allergic to any ingredients or if treating primary infections such as viral, bacterial, or fungal conditions unrelated to inflammation.
- Not suitable for conditions like acne or rosacea.
- Avoid prolonged use on thin or broken skin to minimise absorption risks.
- Do not use on large surface areas without medical guidance, particularly if you have liver or kidney impairment.
