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.

How to use Valerate-C Ointment

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and gently massage the ointment.

How Valerate-C Ointment works

Valerate-C 2%/0.05% Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Ketoconazole and Clobetasone. Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication. It kills and stops the growth of the fungi by destroying its cell membrane, thereby treating your skin infection. Clobetasone is a steroid which works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and allergies.

Quick tips

Be cautious and avoid applying Valerate-C 2%/0.05% Ointment to sensitive areas like the eyes, mouth, or any open wounds.
Use the medicine consistently and for the full duration prescribed, even if symptoms improve before the treatment period ends. This helps prevent recurrence of the infection.
Unless directed by your doctor, avoid covering the treated area with airtight dressings, as this can increase the risk of side effects.
Let your doctor know if you have any other skin conditions or are using other topical medications to avoid potential interactions.
Do not use more than the prescribed amount. Overuse can lead to potential side effects such as thinning of the skin or increased risk of systemic absorption.
