Aclovate Side Effects, Overdose and Pregnancy Information
Aclovate is a topical corticosteroid given to treat the rash, itching, inflammation, and other forms of skin disorders including eczema and psoriasis. Drugs like Aclovate do not cure the cause of these problems but they can quickly relieve the symptoms by interfering with the production of various substances in the body that cause these skin disorders. That is why it is imperative that corticosteroids like Aclovate should not be used without prior consultation of your physician, as these conditions could be a symptom of a larger problem.
Aclovate is for external use only.
Aclovate Side Effects
Aclovate side effects may include allergic reaction, rash, irritation, acne, headache, itching, and discoloration of skin. Rare Aclovate side effects may include back pain, heart problems, stomach ulcer, fatigue, irregular menstruation, diabetes, insomnia, and mood swings.
Aclovate side effects are more likely when the treated area is covered with waterproof bandage.
Use of large quantities of Aclovate over large parts of your body should be avoided as large quantities may be absorbed into the blood stream, which could lead to serious side effects.
