Directions
- Apply clobetasol propionate exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, usually one to two times daily.
- Clean and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the medication. Gently rub it in until it is fully absorbed.
- Avoid applying clobetasol propionate to broken or infected skin unless instructed by your doctor.
- Do not cover the treated area with bandages or dressings unless directed, as this can increase absorption and the risk of side effects.
- Continue using the medication for the duration prescribed by your healthcare provider, even if symptoms improve.
Special Precautions
- Inform your doctor if you have a history of skin infections, diabetes, or any other significant medical conditions before starting clobetasol propionate, as it may not be safe for these conditions.
- Long-term use or application over large areas of skin can lead to systemic absorption and side effects, including adrenal suppression.
- Use caution when applying clobetasol propionate to the face, groin, or underarms, as these areas are more sensitive and may react differently to potent corticosteroids.
- If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using clobetasol propionate, as its safety in these situations is not fully established.
- Inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements you are taking, as clobetasol can interact with other treatments.

Serious side effects, though rare, may include signs of skin infection (such as increased redness, swelling, or pus), significant skin thinning, or systemic effects like adrenal insufficiency.
