Overview

Univate 0.05% Ointment is supplied as an ointment, with Clobetasol propionate 0.05% w/w. It is supplied in a pack size of 15g.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Directions for Use

Apply a thin layer of Univate Ointment to the affected skin area only, exactly as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily. Gently rub in until absorbed, wash your hands after application unless the hands are the treated area, and do not apply to the face, groin, or underarms unless specifically instructed by your doctor, as these areas are more sensitive to steroid side effects.

Dosage

Use the smallest amount needed to cover the affected area thinly, for the shortest duration advised by your doctor, typically not exceeding 2 consecutive weeks without medical review. This medicine requires a valid prescription obtained through an online consultation with a doctor via DoctorOnCall, and the treated area and duration must not be extended without your doctor’s confirmation.

Shelf Life

Univate 0.05% Ointment is generally stable for up to 36 months from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly. Always check the expiry date printed on the tube and carton before use and do not use beyond this date.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the tube tightly capped when not in use and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Burning, stinging or irritation at the application site
  • Dry or cracked skin
  • Skin thinning (with prolonged use)
  • Changes in skin color
  • Stretch marks
  • Acne or increased hair growth on treated areas

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to clobetasol propionate or other corticosteroids
  • Untreated bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infections at the site of application
  • Acne, rosacea, or perioral dermatitis
  • Not for use on the face, groin, or underarms unless specifically directed by a doctor
  • Not for long-term continuous use without regular medical review
  • Caution in children, where use is generally avoided unless specifically prescribed due to greater risk of systemic absorption

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Concurrent use with other topical corticosteroids on the same area should be avoided unless directed by a doctor, as this increases the risk of skin thinning and systemic side effects
  • Applying occlusive dressings over treated skin can significantly increase absorption and should only be done if instructed by your doctor
  • No significant food interactions are expected with topical use

Quick Tips

  • Use only on the area and for the duration prescribed by your doctor — do not use it as a routine daily moisturiser
  • Avoid applying to broken, infected, or weeping skin unless your doctor has specifically advised this
  • Do not bandage or cover the treated area tightly unless instructed, as this increases absorption
  • Attend follow-up reviews so your doctor can assess skin response and check for signs of thinning or other steroid-related changes
  • Never share this medicine with others, even if they have similar-looking skin symptoms

Relevant Information

Clobetasol propionate is classified among the most potent topical corticosteroids available and is reserved for short-term treatment of severe, steroid-responsive skin conditions that have not responded to weaker treatments. Because of the higher risk of skin thinning and other side effects with this potency class, DoctorOnCall dispenses Univate Ointment only after a doctor’s assessment via online consultation, with follow-up recommended to ensure safe, effective use for patients in Malaysia and Singapore.
