Manufactured By: GLAXOSMITHKLINE

Used For:

Clobevate Ointment contains clobetasol propionate, a potent topical corticosteroid, and is used for:

• Inflammatory Skin Conditions: Treatment of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.
• Conditions Treated: Psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, and other skin conditions that cause redness, swelling, and itching.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Skin Reactions: Burning, itching, irritation, dryness, or redness at the application site.
• Skin Thinning: Prolonged use can lead to thinning of the skin (atrophy).

Less common but more severe side effects can include:

• Systemic Absorption: Prolonged use, especially over large areas or under occlusion, can lead to systemic absorption causing symptoms like adrenal suppression.
• Allergic Reactions: Rash, hives, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing.

Precautions:

• Patch Test: Perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions before full application.
• Application Guidelines: Apply a thin layer to the affected area as directed by a healthcare provider. Avoid covering with bandages or other occlusive dressings unless advised.
• Duration of Use: Use for the shortest duration necessary to achieve desired results. Prolonged use increases the risk of side effects.
• Avoid Sensitive Areas: Do not apply to broken, infected, or inflamed skin, or near the eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes.
• Consult Healthcare Provider: Before use, especially if you have a history of skin infections, diabetes, or other health conditions that may be affected by corticosteroid use.
• Children and Infants: Use with caution and under medical supervision, as children are more susceptible to systemic absorption and side effects.

If you experience severe side effects, signs of an allergic reaction, or if the condition does not improve or worsens, discontinue use and seek medical attention promptly.
