Tenevate

Tenevate is a brand name used for a topical corticosteroid preparation marketed for the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions. The exact formulation, strength, and active ingredient can vary by country and manufacturer, and not all regions carry the product under this name.

As with topical corticosteroids in general, products sold under the Tenevate label are intended for short-term use on affected skin to reduce redness, itching, and swelling associated with dermatitis, eczema, plaque psoriasis, and other inflammatory dermatoses.

Administration and dosing are determined by a clinician. The preparation is usually applied in a thin layer to clean, dry skin, once daily or as directed, for a limited period. Avoid application to the face, groin, or underarms unless specifically instructed, and do not use occlusive dressings unless advised.

Possible side effects include local burning, itching, or skin thinning, and less commonly stretch marks or hypopigmentation. Prolonged or extensive use can lead to systemic absorption with hormonal effects. It should not be used on broken skin or for viral or fungal infections without appropriate therapy. Keep out of reach of children and consult a clinician if pregnant or nursing.
