Valerate-C 2%/0.05% Ointment
Product introduction
Apply Valerate-C 2%/0.05% Ointment only to the affected area. Before application, make sure the skin is clean and dry. Apply a thin layer of the cream and gently rub it in. To get the best results, continue using the cream for the full course of treatment, even if the symptoms get better. Do not cover the treated area with bandages or dressings unless directed by your doctor, as this can increase absorption and the risk of side effects.
Common side effects include mild burning, irritation, dryness, or redness at the site of application. These effects are usually temporary and resolve as your skin adjusts to the treatment. If they persist or worsen, stop using the cream and consult your doctor. To minimize side effects, apply the cream only as prescribed and avoid overuse.
While using Valerate-C 2%/0.05% Ointment, avoid applying it to broken skin or open wounds, and keep it away from sensitive areas such as the eyes, nose, and mouth. Long-term or excessive use of corticosteroids like clobetasone can lead to thinning of the skin or other complications. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any other medications, consult your doctor before using this cream. Additionally, this product should not be used to treat bacterial or viral infections.
