Clobederm S Lotion: Treat Psoriasis & Eczema with Clobetasol & Salicylic Acid

Clobederm S Lotion: Targeted Relief for Inflammatory Skin Conditions

Clobederm S Lotion combines the potent anti-inflammatory action of clobetasol propionate with the keratolytic (skin-peeling) properties of salicylic acid. This dual-action formula is particularly effective in treating inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema, where skin thickening and scaling are prominent features.  

How Does Clobederm S Lotion Work?

  • Clobetasol Propionate: A highly potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and itching.  
  • Salicylic Acid: A keratolytic agent that softens and sheds the outer layer of skin, helping the clobetasol penetrate more effectively and reducing scaling.  

    What Conditions Does Clobederm S Lotion Treat?

    Clobederm S Lotion is commonly prescribed for:

    • Psoriasis: A condition characterized by thick, scaly patches of skin.  
    • Eczema: A chronic condition causing dry, itchy, and inflamed skin.  
    • Other Inflammatory Skin Conditions: May be used for other conditions where inflammation and scaling are present, as directed by your physician.

      How to Use Clobederm S Lotion

      1. Apply Sparingly: Apply a thin layer of Clobederm S Lotion to the affected areas of skin twice daily, or as directed by your physician.
      2. Gently Rub In: Gently rub the lotion into the skin until it is absorbed.
      3. Short-Term Use: Clobederm S is a potent corticosteroid and should generally be used for short periods only (up to 2 weeks) to avoid side effects.  
      4. Follow Doctor's Instructions: Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding the frequency and duration of use.

        Important Precautions

        • For External Use Only: Do not ingest Clobederm S Lotion.
        • Avoid Contact with Eyes and Mucous Membranes: If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.  
        • Sensitive Areas: Avoid applying Clobederm S to sensitive areas like the face, groin, or underarms unless directed by your doctor.
        • Occlusive Dressings: Do not use with occlusive dressings (bandages or wraps that cover the treated area) unless directed by your doctor.
        • Consult a Doctor: If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any other health concerns, talk to your doctor before using Clobederm S Lotion.
