Description
Gamavate 0.05% Cream is a clobetasol propionate steroid cream that relieves the inflammation, redness, and itching of stubborn skin conditions. Containing Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% (0.5 mg/g) and made by Julphar in the UAE, this potent topical corticosteroid helps calm flare-ups of eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It is a prescription-only medicine intended for short-term, doctor-supervised use on affected areas of the skin.
How It Works
Gamavate works by reducing the inflammatory response in the skin. As a potent corticosteroid, it lowers the release of substances that trigger swelling and redness, calms the immune reaction in the treated area, and eases the itching and scaling linked to conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

Ingredients
• Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% (0.5 mg/g): a very potent (super-high-potency) topical corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation, reduces redness and swelling, and relieves itching in corticosteroid-responsive skin conditions.
The emollient cream base makes it suitable for inflamed, dry, or weepy skin, delivering the active ingredient where it is needed.
How to Use

2. Apply a thin layer of Gamavate to the affected area and gently rub it in, usually twice daily or exactly as directed by your doctor.
3. Wash your hands after applying, unless your hands are the area being treated.
4. Do not cover, bandage, or wrap the treated skin unless your doctor tells you to, and do not use more than the amount your doctor prescribes (typically not more than 50 g per week).
