About Sorvate C Ointment

Sorvate C Ointment belongs to a class of medicines called 'steroids' given in combination with vitamins used to treat autoimmune skin disorders like psoriasis (scaly, itchy, and red patches on the skin). It is indicated for adults and children above 12 years of age. Autoimmune skin disorders are conditions in which immune cells attack the body's healthy cells, causing inflammation. Sorvate C Ointment can suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation. 

Sorvate C Ointment comprised two medicines, Clobetasol (corticosteroid) and Calcitriol (Vitamin D3). Calcitorl minimises the excessive production of skin cells that may build up and form scales on the skin. At the same time, Clobetasol is a corticosteroid medicine that restricts the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) responsible for red, swollen, itchy skin. It also suppresses the body's extreme immune response and calms the body to improve the itchy, scaly skin rash. 

Sorvate C Ointment should be used as prescribed by the doctor. Common side-effects of Sorvate C Ointment are burning or stinging sensation, itching, redness, and dryness. Long-term use of Sorvate C Ointment may affect the adrenal gland and cause abnormal effects. It may also cause vision problems in some cases. 

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Clobetasol or other ingredients in this medicine. Do not use Sorvate C Ointment in children under 12 years of age without a doctor's advice. Do not use Sorvate C Ointment to treat acne, rosacea (facial flushing on and around the nose), perioral dermatitis (red or scaly rashes around the mouth), anogenital pruritis (itching around the anus or genitals), itchy, broken or infected skin which is not inflamed and widespread plaque psoriasis (except single lesions).

Drug Warnings

Inform your doctor before using Sorvate C Ointment if you have previously had an allergic reaction (hypersensitivity) with another steroid. If there is an overdose, clean the area thoroughly and re-apply the medicine. Apply Sorvate C Ointment carefully if you use it on eyelids or near the eyes, as there is a risk of cataracts or glaucoma if the drug enters the eye frequently. Sorvate C Ointment can penetrate the skin easily and may cause skin thinning because of repeated application. So, apply it carefully when using it on broken or damaged skin and large surface areas of the skin. Do not use Sorvate C Ointment simultaneously as other creams or ointments, such as a moisturizer. Keep at least a gap of 30 minutes between using clobetasol and any other product. Sorvate C Ointment should not be used to treat acne, rosacea, or skin rash around the mouth.
