Ticovate (0.005%) 10g Ointment

This medicine is used to treat skin conditions like eczema. Skin inflammation leads to dilation of blood vessels around the affected skin site. Corticosteroids in the medicine work by constricting the capillaries (small blood vessels) and reducing pain and swelling.

Fluticasone is utilized for the following therapeutic indications:

• Treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Management of allergic rhinitis
• Treatment of nasal polyps
• Topical treatment for inflammatory skin conditions
• Prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction

Follow these dosage instructions:

• Take as per doctor's Prescription.
• Apply the Terbiderm Cream to the affected area topically, once or twice daily as recommended by the doctor.
• Your doctor will determine the duration of treatment based on the symptom severity.

Using too much fluticasone is unlikely to be harmful. However, if you apply too much of this to a child or yourself, carefully wash the affected area of skin until the cream is completely gone. Discuss your concerns with a doctor or chemist.

Do not worry if you forget to apply your ointment or cream. Unless your next dose is almost due, use it as soon as you remember. In this instance, apply the subsequent dose at the scheduled time and omit the missed one.

Wash your hands before using the cream, gel, or ointment. Apply the cream topically on the affected area once or twice a day for at least 1-2 weeks.
