Frequently asked questions FOR Clobelan
Clobetasol
Q. Can Clobetasol be used for a long time?
No, Clobetasol should not be used for a long time. It is generally prescribed for 2 consecutive weeks only. However, the treatment can be longer for chronic (long-term) inflammatory conditions. Consult your physician before using this medication.
Q. Does Clobetasol cause severe skin reactions?
Severe skin reactions are quite rare with Clobetasol. Clobetasol is an anti-inflammatory drug which is used to treat skin diseases, skin reactions and eczemas. However, skin reactions can occur in a person who is hypersensitive to Clobetasol. It is important to leave the affected area open after applying Clobetasol as using occlusive dressings (air- and water-tight dressing) can lead to skin reactions. The medicine may not itself cause a reaction but the added excipients with the medications can lead to a reaction in some cases. Inform your doctor immediately in case you encounter any skin reactions.
Q. Can Clobetasol be used on the face?
No, Clobetasol should not be used on face. Along with that, its use should be avoided in other areas like the axillae (armpits), groin and if there is atrophy (wasting away of tissues) at the treatment site. However, in certain circumstances, the doctor may prescribe Clobetasol only when considered necessary. It should be used only after consultation with your physician. and if possible, the application on face should be limited to a maximum of 5 days.
