FAQs
Is Clobederm Lotion a prescription product?
Yes. Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% is a prescription-only, super-potent corticosteroid. It must only be used under the supervision of a qualified dermatologist.
What conditions is Clobederm Lotion used for?
It is indicated for severe, treatment-resistant skin conditions including plaque psoriasis (especially scalp), recalcitrant eczema, lichen planus, discoid lupus erythematosus, and other inflammatory dermatoses that have not responded adequately to milder corticosteroids.
Why can I only use Clobetasol for 2 weeks?
Clobetasol Propionate is a Class 1 (super-potent) corticosteroid. Prolonged use risks serious side effects including skin thinning (atrophy), stretch marks, suppression of the adrenal gland (HPA axis), and systemic absorption effects. Two weeks is the standard maximum continuous course.
Why must I not use it on my face, groin, or armpits?
Skin in these areas is thin and absorbs steroids much more readily, greatly increasing the risk of skin atrophy, telangiectasia (visible blood vessels), and systemic absorption. These sites are specifically excluded.
What is the maximum weekly dose?
Do not use more than 50ml (50g equivalent) per week. Exceeding this increases the risk of adrenal suppression and other systemic effects.
Is Clobederm Lotion safe for children?
No. Clobetasol Propionate should not be used in children without specialist supervision. Children are at significantly higher risk of systemic absorption and adrenal suppression.
Can I use Clobederm Lotion during pregnancy?
Use only under strict medical advice. Topical clobetasol should be avoided during pregnancy unless the benefit clearly outweighs the risk. Consult your doctor.
