Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% Ointment - 10g Tube
Severe eczema flare-ups and thick, scaly psoriasis plaques often produce unbearable itching and skin redness that do not respond to mild topical steroids. Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% Ointment provides maximum-strength anti-inflammatory relief. As an ultra-high potency corticosteroid formulated in a rich, occlusive ointment base, it rapidly suppresses hyperactive dermal immune responses, locking in moisture while flattening stubborn psoriatic plaques and stopping severe itching.
How to Use / Operate
Apply a very thin layer exclusively to the affected skin area once or twice daily as prescribed by your dermatologist. Rub in gently until absorbed. Wash hands immediately after application unless treating the hands.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Clobetasol Ointment used for?
It is a high-potency topical steroid used for short-term relief of severe inflammatory skin conditions such as recalcitrant eczema and lichen planus.
Why is an ointment base used instead of a cream?
Ointments are thicker and more occlusive, making them superior for penetrating dry, thick, scaly lesions like psoriasis.
Important Clinical Considerations
Do not use continuously for more than 2 consecutive weeks, and do not exceed 50g per week to prevent systemic adrenal suppression. Do not apply to the face, groin, or armpits unless specifically directed by a doctor. Avoid occlusive bandages over the treated area.
