While Clobeta Ointment is effective, it may cause side effects, especially with prolonged use. Common side effects include:

2. Skin Thinning: Prolonged use may cause thinning of the skin.

5. Increased Hair Growth: Unusual hair growth at the application site.

Serious side effects are rare but may include signs of an allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing) or systemic effects due to absorption through the skin, especially with long-term or extensive use.

Precautions:

Before using Clobeta Ointment, consider the following precautions:

1. Allergies: Inform your healthcare provider if you are allergic to clobetasol propionate or any other corticosteroids.
2. Medical History: Discuss your medical history, especially if you have had skin infections, diabetes, or immune system issues.
3. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this ointment.
4. Avoid Contact with Eyes and Mucous Membranes: Do not apply the ointment to the eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
5. Proper Use: Apply the ointment exactly as directed by your healthcare provider or according to the instructions on the packaging. Do not use more than the recommended amount or for longer than prescribed.
6. Occlusive Dressings: Avoid using occlusive dressings (airtight coverings) unless directed by your doctor, as this can increase the absorption of the corticosteroid.
7. Infection Risk: Avoid using the ointment on infected skin areas unless advised by a healthcare professional. Corticosteroids can mask or worsen infections.
8. Children: Use in children should be closely monitored, as they are more susceptible to side effects from corticosteroids.

Always follow the guidance of your healthcare provider and the instructions provided with the medication for the safest and most effective use of Clobeta Ointment.
