Clobetasol Propionate Cream
What is Clobetasol used for?
It is used to help reduce the redness and itching of certain skin problems.
Do not use Clobetasol:
If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to clobetasol propionate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine.
• In a child under 1 year of age
• To treat any of the following skin problems, as it may make them worse:
• Acne
• Severe redness of the skin in and around the nose (rosacea).
• A red, patchy rash around your mouth (perioral dermatitis).
• Itching around your anus or genitals (penis or vagina).
• Infected skin (unless the infection is being treated with concurrent anti-infective medications).
• Itchy, non-inflamed skin.
• Spread of plaque psoriasis, except for single lesions.
Warnings and Precautions:
Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using Clobetasol if you:
• You have previously had an allergic reaction to another steroid.
• You are applying the cream under an occlusive dressing, including a baby's diaper. These dressings facilitate the penetration of the active ingredient through the skin.
You may end up using too much cream.
• Make sure the skin is cleansed before applying a new dressing to prevent infection.
• You are applying the cream to broken or damaged skin or within skin folds.
• You are applying it over a large area.
• You have psoriasis; your doctor will want to see you more closely.
• You are using it to treat a chronic leg ulcer because you may be at increased risk of a local allergic reaction or infection.
• You are using it near the eyes or on the eyelids, as cataracts or glaucoma may occur if the cream repeatedly gets into the eyes.
• You are using it on thin skin, such as the face, because clobetasol may cause skin thinning. Use on the face should be limited to 5 days.
Do not use bandages or dressings on the face where the cream is applied.
Possible Side Effects:
Stop using the product and seek immediate medical attention if you experience tightness in the throat or swelling of the eyes, face, lips, or tongue, or if you feel faint or have difficulty breathing. Stop using the product if you experience hives or itching of the face or body.
Other Medications and Clobetasol:
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medications, especially if you are taking ritonavir and itraconazole.
How to Use Clobetasol:
You usually apply a thin layer of Clobetasol once or twice a day.
This may be reduced or stopped as your skin begins to improve.
Your doctor may prescribe a weaker steroid instead.
If you are also using an emollient (moisturizer), allow time for the Clobetasol to be absorbed into your skin before applying the emollient.
This cream is for use on your skin only.
Do not use for more than 4 weeks without consulting your doctor. If you need treatment for a long time,
your doctor may decide you need to use a milder cream or ointment.
If your skin condition worsens or does not improve within 2 to 4 weeks, talk to your doctor.
How to store Clobetasol:
Keep this medicine out of the sight and reach of children.

The expiry date refers to the last day of that month.
