Is it possible to replace Novate cream with ointment or vice versa?

In the case of Novate cream and ointment, there is an opportunity to issue the form of the drug interchangeably. Both forms belong to the first group of classification of steroid drugs used externally (American classification), with the strongest degree of action. However, it is recommended to use the form of the drug that has been prescribed by a doctor. Also, due to the fact that medicinal substances show greater permeability through the skin from ointment substrates - that is, the ointment often has a stronger therapeutic effect - it is not recommended to replace the cream with ointment. However, ointment for cream - already so. The final decision to dispense another form of the drug belongs to the person fulfilling the prescription. Novate ointment/cream can be booked at a selected pharmacy via the GdziePoLek portal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/54655/novate-masc/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/54654/novate-krem/apteki
