What is Eumovate?

Eumovate is a steroid medication that is used to treat a number of skin conditions including eczema, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and contact dermatitis. It is a type of medicine called a corticosteroid. These help to reduce inflammation in skin conditions.

Ointment and cream versions of Eumovate are available. The active ingredient is clobetasone butyrate. It is considered to be a corticosteroid that is moderately potent.

How does it work?

In eczema, the skin barrier is injured and the skin can lose water. It can also become irritated more easily. Cells react to this and release chemicals leading to inflammation. This can cause the skin to become dry, inflamed, and itchy.

Eumovate treats eczema by blocking the inflammatory chemicals released by the cells. It also constricts blood vessels around the affected skin. By doing this it reduces inflammation and helps with the redness, itching, and swelling that happens with eczema.

Applying Eumovate

Apply Eumovate exactly as told by your doctor. Usually, a thin layer is applied once or twice daily to the affected areas. It should not be used for longer than four weeks at a time, although your doctor may suggest using it for a shorter period of time. 

A useful guide for how much steroid cream to use is to use fingertip units. Fingertip units give you an estimate of how much cream/ointment to apply to different areas of the body. Detailed information on side effects is in the patient information leaflet.

Alternatives

There are many topical corticosteroids available and they vary in strength from very potent, potent, moderate, and mild in strength. Four different topical steroids are available from our online doctor service:

Side Effects

Eumovate Side Effects

Some people will get a stinging or burning sensation where Eumovate is applied. Most side effects are very rare including skin thinning and skin infections. If you notice any changes to your skin or your eczema gets worse when using Eumovate, stop using it and speak to your doctor. 

With topical steroids, the likelihood of side effects are higher if they are used continuously for a long time. For this reason, they are not recommended for long term use. Applying topical steroids to a large area of skin also increases the risk of developing side effects.
More information on side effects can be found in the patient information leaflet.

Reviews

Info Leaflet

Before taking any medication, it is important to read the Patient Information Leaflet. You can find information leaflets for your medicines by typing them into the search bar at medicines.org, or by contacting us.

Warnings

Eumovate and other conditions

Eumovate is not suitable for people with an allergy to clobetasone or any of the ingredients. This includes ingredients like cetostearyl alcohol, beeswax substitute (6621), and chlorocresol. 

You should not use Eumovate if you currently have a skin infection (unless you have been prescribed an anti-infection medicine with it). People with acne and rosacea should not apply it to these skin conditions because it can make these conditions worse.

Interactions with other medicines

Eumovate is applied to the skin and this means it is unlikely to cause problems with other medicines. It is still important to tell your doctor if you take any other medicines.
