FAQ
When should I apply Eumovate?
This medicine will be most effective if applied after a bath or shower. Apply eumovate cream to the affected area twice a day for up to 7 days.
How much should I apply?
This medicine should be applied sparingly. Apply a thin layer - half a fingertip - of Eumovate cream to all red, inflamed skin. Half a fingertip should cover an area the size of your palm.
Quantities of topical cream or ointment are often measured using a ‘fingertip unit’. This is the amount of medicine that is squeezed onto the top of the finger.
Gently rub the cream or ointment into the affected area once or twice a day for up to 7 days. Washing hands immediately after application.
Where should I apply Eumovate cream?

Does Eumovate begin working immediately?
You should notice improvements to your symptoms within five days of using Eumovate cream. If your condition does not improve within 7 days, speak to your doctor for further treatment options.
If you experience flare ups upon cessation of the product, consult a doctor. The recurrence of pre-existing dermatitis can happen with sudden discontinuation of topical corticosteroids.

Side Effects
There is always a risk of side effects with all prescription medicines. Some of these can be quite mild and can subside over time. Others are more serious and should be reported to your GP right away if you experience any side effects. Please contact a member of our team if you are concerned about any potential side effects that may occur when using Eumovate.
Common side effects include:
- Thinning of the skin
- Burning, itching, or irritation at the site of application
- Increased hair growth
- Changes in skin colour
Stop using Eumovate and seek medical attention if your condition is not improving, or if you develop small, pus-filled blisters under the skin.
