Cutivate 0.05% Cream

Cutivate 0.05% Cream belongs to a group of medicines known as corticosteroids, specifically formulated with the active ingredient fluticasone propionate. It’s a prescription-strength topical cream that is absorbed into the skin to help manage certain conditions under medical advice. Some users may experience side effects such as burning, itching, irritation, or dryness at the application site. If this is your first time using a strong topical cream, don’ worry – it’s quite normal to feel a mild tingling at first, and our pharmacists are always here to assist you if you have concerns. Always use it exactly as directed by your doctor.

Apply a thin layer of Cutivate 0.05% Cream on the affected area once or twice daily, gently rubbing it into the skin.

The usual dosage is a small amount applied to the affected area one to two times daily, depending on your doctor’s recommendation; do not exceed prescribed frequency or quantity.

Cutivate 0.05% Cream typically has a shelf life of 2 years from the date of manufacture. Be sure to check the expiry date printed on the packaging before use.

Store Cutivate 0.05% Cream below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Do not use Cutivate 0.05% Cream if you are allergic to fluticasone propionate or other corticosteroids. It should not be applied to areas with untreated bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic skin infections unless advised by a healthcare provider. Avoid using it on broken skin or open wounds.

Since Cutivate 0.05% Cream is a topical medication, food interactions are unlikely. However, avoid combining with other corticosteroid creams or skin products unless directed by a doctor to prevent unwanted reactions or overexposure.
