What are the Indications for CLOBETASOL PROPIONATE?

  • INDICATIONS AND USAGE TEMOVATE ¬Æ Cream and Ointment are super-high potency corticos-teroid formulations indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pru-ritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. Treatment beyond 2 consecutive weeks is not recommended, and the total dosage should not exceed 50 g/week because of the potential for the drug to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Use in pediatric patients under 12 years of age is not recommended. As with other highly active corticosteroids, therapy should be discontinued when control has been achieved. If no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, reassessment of the diagnosis may be necessary.
