Cavicort Cream

Refer to the pack for complete information.

Topical corticosteroid cream used to reduce inflammation and itching in steroid-responsive skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and allergic rashes (exact indication depends on the active ingredient).

Topical corticosteroids reduce the release of inflammatory mediators in the skin, decreasing redness, swelling and itching. They also suppress immune activity locally to relieve symptoms in steroid-responsive dermatoses.

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer 1–2 times daily or as directed by a doctor. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and broken skin; wash hands after application unless treating hands. Do not use under occlusive dressing unless advised.

Burning, stinging, itching, dryness, redness, skin irritation, thinning of skin (with prolonged use), acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation

Do not use on viral, fungal or untreated bacterial skin infections unless prescribed with appropriate anti-infective therapy. Avoid prolonged use, large-area application, or use on face/groin/underarms unless advised due to risk of skin thinning and systemic absorption. Stop and consult a doctor if severe irritation, worsening rash, or signs of infection occur. Use cautiously in children.

Other topical irritants (e.g., retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid) may increase irritation; concomitant use of other topical steroids increases risk of side effects. Significant interactions are unlikely with normal topical use.

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Keep the tube tightly closed and out of reach of children.
