Uses

Jock itch (tinea cruris)
Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis)
And infected dermatitis (as prescribed)

Benefits

In Eczema: Cosvate GM calms the inflammation behind an eczema flare, quickly reducing the redness, itch and weeping so the skin can heal and the scratch-itch cycle is broken.
In Dermatitis: Cosvate GM settles the red, itchy, inflamed skin of dermatitis, whether from an allergy, irritant or contact with something the skin reacts to.
In Psoriasis: Cosvate GM reduces the thickening, scaling and redness of psoriasis plaques and relieves the itch.
In Skin inflammation and itching: Cosvate GM relieves itching and inflammation of the skin from insect bites, rashes and reactions, so the skin can settle.
In Bacterial infection: Cosvate GM treats the bacterial infection it was prescribed for by killing the bacteria or stopping them multiplying. Finishing the course makes sure the infection does not return.
In Gut infection: Cosvate GM clears the bacteria or other organisms causing diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating, so the gut settles.
In Skin infection: Cosvate GM treats infected skin and soft tissue, bringing down redness, swelling and pain.
In Dental infection: Cosvate GM treats infections of the teeth and gums, easing the pain and swelling until your dentist can deal with the cause.
In Fungal skin infection: Cosvate GM kills the fungus on the skin or stops it growing, clearing the rash and the itch. Continuing for the full period, even after the skin looks clear, stops it coming back.
In Ringworm: Cosvate GM clears the ring-shaped, itchy rash of ringworm and stops it spreading to other parts of the body or to other people.
In Athlete's foot: Cosvate GM clears the itchy, peeling, cracked skin between the toes and on the soles, and helps stop the infection returning.
In Dandruff: Cosvate GM controls the yeast that drives flaking and itching of the scalp, so dandruff clears and the scalp settles.
In Nail fungal infection: Cosvate GM, applied to the nail, slowly clears a mild fungal nail infection as the healthy nail grows out.

How to use

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer once or twice daily as directed by the doctor. Avoid covering with tight bandage unless advised; wash hands after use. Do not use on face, groin, underarms or broken skin unless prescribed; limit duration to the shortest possible.

How it works

Clobetasol is a potent topical corticosteroid that reduces redness, swelling and itching. Miconazole is an antifungal that damages the fungal cell membrane and stops fungal growth. Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis to control susceptible bacterial infection.

DrivingCAUTION: May cause drowsiness or affect your concentration. Do not drive until you know how it affects you.

Warnings & precautions

Use only on the affected skin and for the prescribed duration; prolonged or excessive use can cause skin thinning and systemic steroid effects, especially in children. Avoid use on large areas, under occlusion, or near eyes/mouth; may worsen acne/rosacea and can mask infection. Stop and seek medical advice if irritation, worsening infection, or allergic reaction occurs. Not recommended for viral skin infections (herpes, chickenpox) or untreated bacterial/fungal infections without medical supervision.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can suppress the body's own steroid production when it is used for a long time over large areas, especially in children. It can cause vomiting, severe loose motions and nerve symptoms. It is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Quick tips

Apply a thin layer.
A fingertip's worth covers an area about the size of two adult palms.
Use a plain moisturiser generously alongside it; that is what keeps eczema away between flares.
Ask your doctor for a written plan of how long to use it and when to step down.
Space the doses evenly and complete the course.
Take tetracyclines with a full glass of water and stay upright for half an hour afterwards.
Never use a leftover antibiotic, or someone else's, for a new illness.
Keep the area clean and completely dry.
