Trimovate cream is a triple-action treatment for a variety of skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. It contains three active ingredients: a steroid called Clobetasone butyrate 0.05%, an antibiotic medicine called Oxytetracycline 3.0%, and an antifungal medication called Nystatin 100,000 units per gram. These three active ingredients work in different ways to help reduce skin inflammation, itchy skin and skin infections.

It is not recommended to use Trimovate cream on broken skin. If there are open cuts in the skin, Trimovate cream can cause extreme irritation in these areas, which is why we do not recommend using it on sensitive areas of skin.
A thin layer of Trimovate cream can be applied sparingly up to 4 times a day, for a maximum of 2 weeks.
Take care not to get cream on the surrounding healthy skin as the topical corticosteroid can cause skin thinning.
Once symptoms have reduced, stop using the treatment, or switch to less potent steroid creams.
Trimovate cream is not suitable for continuous treatment. If you haven't seen any improvement in your skin condition, or symptoms worsen, your topical medication should be reviewed by your doctor or pharmacist.
Yes, absolutely. We recommend you keep up with your emollient treatment whilst using Trimovate as the skin will benefit from added moisturising to combat dry skin conditions.
If you miss a Trimovate application, take it once you remember. However, it's a good idea to leave between 8 and 12 hours between applications, so make sure you adjust the times accordingly.
In most cases, no. You apply Trimovate to your skin, so interactions with oral medications are unlikely. However, the cream can interact with other topical treatments, so it's best to exercise caution and avoid combining Trimovate with other corticosteroids.
Yes. Trimovate treats several skin conditions with additional bacterial or fungal infection. It is most commonly prescribed for:
eczema (atopic, seborrhoeic & contact dermatitis)
nappy rash
intertrigo
impetigo
anogenital pruritus
psoriasis
When used correctly, you'll find it not only treats infections but also reduces inflammation and other uncomfortable symptoms.
