Psoriasis is an immune-mediated skin disease that accelerates the growth cycle of skin cells, resulting in thick red patches with silvery scales. It commonly affects areas like elbows, knees, scalp, lower back, face, palms, and soles, although it can occur elsewhere. Eczema, also known as dermatitis, encompasses various types of skin inflammation that cause dry, itchy skin and rashes, typically seen on the face, inside the elbows, behind the knees, and on the hands and feet. Scratching the affected areas can exacerbate redness, swelling, and itching.

Clovate 0.05% Ointment is a topical corticosteroid that possesses anti-itching, anti-inflammatory, and vasoconstrictive properties. It works by inhibiting the release of specific chemical mediators, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are involved in pain, inflammation, and swelling processes in the body. By reducing the levels of these mediators, the cream helps alleviate symptoms such as skin redness, itching, inflammation, swelling, and irritation that are associated with certain skin conditions.

It's important to note that these guidelines are a general summary and should not replace the specific instructions provided by a healthcare professional. Always follow your doctor's advice and consult them if you have any questions or concerns about the use of Clobetasol Propionate or any other medication.
Clobetasol propionate may experience increased systemic exposure when used concurrently with CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ritonavir and itraconazole. It is important to be cautious in such cases. When neomycin sulfate is systemically absorbed in significant amounts, it can enhance and prolong the respiratory depression caused by neuromuscular blockers. However, when neomycin sulfate is used as directed, its systemic exposure is expected to be minimal, and the likelihood of significant drug interactions is low.
The drug is contraindicated in rosacea, acne vulgaris, and perioral dermatitis, primary skin viral infections (for example, herpes simplex, chickenpox), and those who are allergic to the preparation.
Information regarding the safety of clobetasol in pregnant women is not available. However, published data suggest a higher risk of low birth weight when using potent or very potent topical corticosteroids exceeding 300 grams during pregnancy. It is important to inform pregnant women about the potential risk to the fetus and advise them to use clobetasol on the smallest skin area and for the shortest duration possible.
Animal studies have shown an increased occurrence of malformations such as cleft palate and skeletal abnormalities when clobetasol was administered subcutaneously to pregnant mice and rabbits.
There is no available information about the presence of clobetasol in breast milk or its effects on breastfed infants or milk production. Systemic corticosteroids, when taken orally, can be found in human milk and may affect growth, interfere with natural corticosteroid production, or cause other adverse effects. It is unknown if the topical use of clobetasol can lead to sufficient absorption into human milk. To minimize potential exposure to the breastfed infant through breast milk, it is advised to use clobetasol on the smallest skin area and for the shortest duration while breastfeeding. Additionally, breastfeeding women should avoid applying clobetasol directly to the nipple and areola to prevent direct exposure to the infant.
