About ROVATE OINTMENT

ROVATE OINTMENT belongs to a class of drugs called corticosteroids primarily used to prevent allergies including swelling, itching redness, heat, and pain caused due to certain skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches), dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). The swelling of the skin occurs when an allergic reaction or skin irritation releases several substances in the skin that widens blood vessels and cause itching, redness, pain, and swelling in the irritated area.

ROVATE OINTMENT is a steroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any type of allergens, such chemicals are released normally.

Use ROVATE OINTMENT as prescribed. You are advised to use ROVATE OINTMENT for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. ROVATE OINTMENT is for external use only. Avoid contact of ROVATE OINTMENT with nose, mouth, or eyes. In case ROVATE OINTMENT comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience skin redness, inflamed hair follicles, itching, blistering, or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of ROVATE OINTMENT do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to ROVATE OINTMENT or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using ROVATE OINTMENT. Do not use ROVATE OINTMENT in more than prescribed doses, or on a large area of skin for a prolonged time as it may cause adverse effects. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with a bandage unless advised by your doctor.  Avoid using ROVATE OINTMENT for more than 5 days in children and on the face. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) that is in contact with ROVATE OINTMENT catches fire and burns easily. If you have diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, adrenal gland or liver problems, or had a skin reaction to a steroid medicine in the past, inform your doctor before taking ROVATE OINTMENT.
