Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for Tovet to work?
Most patients begin to see improvement in their skin condition within a few days of using Tovet, but full benefits may take one to two weeks.
Can I use Tovet on my face?
Tovet is generally not recommended for use on the face unless specifically directed by your doctor, as the skin on the face is more sensitive to thinning and other side effects.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Tovet?
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not apply extra amounts to make up for a missed dose.
Is it safe to use Tovet long-term?
Tovet is intended for short-term use to manage flare-ups of skin conditions. Prolonged use can lead to side effects like skin thinning and adrenal suppression. Always follow your healthcare provider’s guidance.
Can I use Tovet for fungal infections?
No, Tovet should not be used for fungal infections unless your doctor has specifically prescribed it for that purpose. Using a corticosteroid on a fungal infection can worsen the condition.
Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Tovet Work?
Tovet works by mimicking the action of natural corticosteroids in the body. When applied to the skin, it reduces the activity of the immune system in the area, which helps to decrease inflammation, redness, and itching. By controlling these symptoms, Tovet promotes healing and relief from skin irritation.

Advice From The Pharmacist
- Apply Tovet sparingly to the affected areas and avoid using it on healthy skin or on large areas of the body for extended periods.
- Wash your hands after applying the medication unless you are treating your hands.
- Do not use Tovet on broken skin, open wounds, or on areas where the skin is thinner, such as the face or groin, unless directed by a healthcare provider.
- Avoid covering the treated area with bandages or dressings unless instructed by your doctor, as this can increase absorption and the risk of side effects.

Risks and Warnings of Tovet
- Skin Atrophy: Long-term use of Tovet can cause thinning of the skin, especially in sensitive areas like the face or groin. Use as directed by your healthcare provider and avoid prolonged use.
- Adrenal Suppression: Absorption of topical corticosteroids can cause suppression of the adrenal glands, particularly when used in large amounts or over extended periods. Signs include fatigue, weakness, and nausea.
- Increased Risk of Infections: Tovet can mask symptoms of skin infections or worsen fungal infections, so it should not be used on infected areas unless prescribed for that purpose.
Interactions with Tovet
Common Drug Interactions
- Other topical medications: Using multiple topical corticosteroids or combining Tovet with other skin treatments may increase the risk of side effects like skin thinning or irritation.
- Immunosuppressants: While rare, using corticosteroids like Tovet with systemic immunosuppressive medications could increase the risk of infections.
Alternatives to Tovet
- Hydrocortisone cream: A milder corticosteroid available over-the-counter for less severe skin irritations.
- Triamcinolone acetonide: A mid-strength corticosteroid used for similar skin conditions.
- Clobetasol propionate: A stronger topical corticosteroid for more severe inflammatory skin conditions.
- Tacrolimus (Protopic): A non-steroidal alternative for treating eczema and dermatitis, often used when corticosteroids are not effective or suitable.
