special instructions
The drug Cloveit® ointment is recommended for use for skin lesions accompanied by dryness, hyperkeratosis, and thickening. Cloveit® cream is recommended for the treatment of acute inflammatory skin diseases, incl. accompanied by the development of weeping, as well as for the treatment of inflammation of the scalp. The drug is recommended for short-term use. Prescription of corticosteroids for external use for a long time should be avoided, especially when treating young children, as this may suppress adrenal function. The use of Cloveit® in children requires medical supervision at least once a week. Atrophic skin changes may appear on the face more often than on other parts of the body as a result of long-term use of external forms of corticosteroids. The drug should not be applied to the eye area, because use of the drug in the periorbital area may cause the development of glaucoma. Treatment of psoriasis with GCS for external use may be accompanied by the development of relapses of the disease, tolerance to the drug, a generalized pustular form of the disease, local or systemic toxic reactions due to a violation of the barrier function of the skin, so careful monitoring of the patient is especially important. If a secondary infection occurs, appropriate antibacterial therapy should be carried out. If there are any signs of generalization of the infection, it is necessary to stop the external use of GCS and carry out appropriate treatment with antibacterial drugs. The warm, moist conditions created by applying an occlusive dressing are conducive to bacterial infection, so be sure to clean the skin before applying a new dressing. It is not recommended to dilute the cream. Effect on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery. The use of the drug does not affect the patient’s ability to perform work that requires increased attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.
Side effects
Dermatological reactions: burning, itching, steroid acne, dry skin; with long-term use - weakening of the skin barrier function; with long-term use in high doses - atrophic changes in the skin, in particular, its thinning, the appearance of atrophic stripes (striae), dilation of superficial blood vessels, especially when applying occlusive dressings and when applying the drug to areas of skin with folds; Skin pigmentation and hypertrichosis may develop. In rare cases, treatment of psoriasis with corticosteroids for external use (or their cancellation) provokes the development of pustular psoriasis. When applied to large surfaces, systemic side effects may develop: gastritis, ulceration of the gastrointestinal mucosa, increased intraocular pressure, symptoms of hypercortisolism. Long-term administration of GCS for external use in large doses or application to large areas of the skin may be accompanied by systemic absorption with subsequent development of symptoms of hypercortisolism. The risk of developing this complication is increased in children, especially when using an occlusive dressing, while a diaper can serve as such a dressing. Provided that the drug Cloveit® is prescribed to adult patients in a dosage of no more than 50 g per week, the suppression of the function of the pituitary gland and adrenal glands is transient in nature with their rapid recovery immediately after the end of the course of treatment. In rare cases, Cloveit® may cause an exacerbation of symptoms of the disease.
