Warnings
Before using Dovobet for psoriasis Vulgaris, you should take the time to read and understand everything in the Patient Information Leaflet. Additionally, you should take note of the following warnings:
- Dovobet contains betamethasone, which is a steroid and should not be applied to skin that is infected by bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungus.
- Dovobet should not be applied to any broken skin, ulcers, or areas affected by skin conditions such as acne or rosacea.
- If you have erythrodermic, exfoliative, pustular, or guttate psoriasis, you should speak to a doctor before using Dovobet.
- After applying Dovobet gel, you should avoid exposing the treated skin to large amounts of sunlight or artificial UV light.
- Do not smoke or get close to naked flames when using Dovobet, as it may be flammable. And since it can soak into the clothing you wear and/or the bedding you use, you should wash those things more frequently to be safe.
- If you are taking or using any other medicine (prescribed or non-prescribed), speak to a doctor or pharmacist before using Dovobet.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
There is no adequate data for use during pregnancy. Studies in animals with glucocorticoids have shown a level of toxicity but the impact of this in humans is uncertain. Therefore, Dovobet should only be used in pregnant females if the benefits of therapy outweigh the potential risks to the unborn foetus.
Betamethasone can pass into the breast milk but at therapeutic doses is not known to be harmful. There is no data on the excretion of calcipotriol in breast milk. Dovobet Gel should be prescribed with caution to breastfeeding mothers. The gel should not be used on the breasts if the mother is breastfeeding.
