Q. Can Cvate Cream be used for a long time?

Q. Does Cvate Cream cause severe skin reactions?

Severe skin reactions are quite rare with Cvate Cream. Cvate Cream is an anti-inflammatory drug which is used to treat skin diseases, skin reactions and eczemas. However, skin reactions can occur in a person who is hypersensitive to Cvate Cream. It is important to leave the affected area open after applying Cvate Cream as using occlusive dressings (air- and water-tight dressing) can lead to skin reactions.

Inform your doctor immediately in case you encounter any skin reactions.

Q. Can Cvate Cream be applied to children?
