CLOBETASOL

Can Clobetol be used on the face?
No, Clobetol should not be used on face. In addition to this, Clobetol should also not be used on the axillae (armpits), groin and if there is atrophy (wasting away of tissues) at the treatment site. In certain circumstances, it can be exceptionally considered to be used by the doctors. It should be used only after consultation with your physician and if possible, the application on face should be limited to a maximum of 5 days.

Does Clobetol cause severe skin reactions?
Severe skin reactions are quite rare with Clobetol. Clobetol is an anti-inflammatory drug which is used to treat skin diseases, skin reactions and eczemas. However, skin reactions can occur in a person who is hypersensitive to Clobetol. It is important to leave the affected area open after applying Clobetol as using occlusive dressings (air- and water-tight dressing) can lead to skin reactions. The medicine may not itself cause a reaction but the added excipients with the medications can lead to a reaction in some cases. Inform your doctor immediately in case you encounter any skin reactions.

Can I stop taking Clobetol when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop taking Clobetol and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Your symptoms may improve before your treatment is complete. Stopping Clobetol before your treatment is completed can bring back your symptoms.

Can Clobetol be used for a long time?
No, Clobetol should not be used for a long time. The doctor generally prescribes it for 2 consecutive weeks only. However, the treatment can be longer for chronic (long-term) inflammatory conditions. Consult your physician before using this medication.
