Usage & Safety

For Adult

• Apply a thin layer to the affected skin as directed by a doctor, usually once or twice daily.
• Gently rub in until absorbed and wash hands before and after application unless the hands are being treated.
• Use the smallest amount for the shortest duration necessary; do not generally use continuously for more than 4 weeks unless specifically directed.
• Avoid airtight or occlusive dressings unless prescribed by a healthcare professional.

For Children

• Do not use in children under 2 years of age.
• In older children, use only on medical advice and for the shortest possible duration because potent topical steroids may be absorbed more readily.
• Avoid use on diaper rash or under diapers acting as an occlusive dressing unless specifically prescribed.
• Seek medical advice if prolonged treatment is required or if growth delay or other systemic effects are suspected.

Side Effects

• Common: burning, stinging, itching, irritation, redness, dryness, or discomfort at the application site.
• With prolonged or excessive use: skin thinning, stretch marks, visible small blood vessels, acne-like eruptions, changes in pigmentation, or increased hair growth.
• Rare or serious: allergic contact dermatitis, worsening or spread of infection, delayed healing, blurred vision, glaucoma, cataracts, or systemic corticosteroid effects.
• Contact a doctor if severe diarrhea or abdominal cramps occur during or after use, particularly with prolonged treatment.

Contraindications

• Do not use if allergic to clobetasol, neomycin, nystatin, aminoglycoside antibiotics, or any formulation ingredient.
• Do not use for untreated viral infections such as herpes or chickenpox, untreated fungal infections such as ringworm or athlete's foot, or untreated parasitic infections.
• Avoid use on acne, rosacea, perioral dermatitis, burns, open wounds, or unexplained skin conditions.
• Do not apply to the eyes or eyelids unless specifically directed; repeated eye exposure may increase the risk of glaucoma or cataracts.
• Avoid prolonged use on the face, groin, genitals, armpits, or skin folds unless prescribed.
• Stop use and seek medical advice if significant irritation, worsening infection, or an allergic reaction develops.

Precautions & Warnings

• Tell the doctor about ritonavir, itraconazole, or other strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, which may increase systemic corticosteroid exposure.
• Use caution with systemic aminoglycoside antibiotics or neuromuscular-blocking medicines because of the neomycin component.
• Food and drinks are not expected to affect the topical action.
• Do not combine with other topical steroid, antibiotic, or antifungal products on the same area unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Pregnancy

• Use during pregnancy only when clearly needed and prescribed after a risk-benefit assessment.
• Avoid extensive application, prolonged treatment, or use under occlusion during pregnancy.
• Consult a doctor before breastfeeding; avoid applying to the nipple or breast immediately before feeding.
• If applied to the breast, wash the area thoroughly before breastfeeding.
