Clobetasol Forums

I want to know if I can use clobetasol cream two years past the expiration date? If so, how well will it work and is it safe? ## When it comes to anything expired, I first want to state that expiration dates in general are arbitrary figures. Just because something expires on a specific day of the year doesn't mean it's instantly ineffective and unsafe the minute the clock strikes that number. However when something is in ointment form and has other excipients that make up its composition, then you also have to take into consideration the shelf life of these substances which may or may not last as long as the primary active ingredient. With that said, I think it all comes down to proper storage and whether you care if the ointment isn't necessarily as effective as it could be...

i have molluscum on my face since last 6months i m tired of taking tablets using ointment now doctor hs prescribed me lobate cream. So,will it give me good results or not? ## We had the same experience when our little boy caught molluscum at pre-school. We thought it was just a rash but it got worse and worse. After many months we took him to a medical specialist who suggested either minor surgery or just leave it and do nothing! ... and we paid her good money for the advice. The problem with the advice from doctors to just leave it is that it is contagious. So then his little sister caught it followed by our new born. It wasn't long until my husband and I also caught it. We understandably had had enough by this stage - late as it was. We researched the net and talk to our mothers i...

Can clobetasol propionate .05% be used to treat athlete's foot fungus on my feet? ## Hello, Jim! How are you? No, this is a steroid medication, so it won't help with athlete's foot, which is a fungal infection. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation and dryness. To treat it, you need an antifungal cream, there are many available over the counter, if your doctor approves of your using them. Alternatively, they can prescribe something for you. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Can I use renovate as an skin antifungal? not athlete's foot ## Can this ointment be purchased over-the-counter? I was using it on my hair at one time prescribed by a hair doctor. Now I find my hair in the same condition.

Can you use clobetasol propionate ointment USP 0.05 on the vaginal area? ## Based on my research, Clobetasol topical is used to help relieve redness, itching, swelling, or other discomfort caused by skin conditions. From what I've read, most of the nerve endings are just outside the vaginal opening, so it would not be of much use internally in any means. "Unless instructed specifically by your doctor or gynecologist", you should only use it outside the vaginal opening (and a thin layer at that, because it is very potent). You can learn more about this drug on the page for Clobetasol Details I hope this info helps! ## If it hasn't been specially formulated for vaginal use, then no. Using something there inappropriately may cause infections, irritation and other medical pr...

When I got home, I realized I have absolutely no idea where this cream suppose to go??? I guess my best bet is to go back to my gyno and ask her to show me again. Do you by any chance know off hand where to put this cream? Thank you if you can help. ## Hello Sue, Sorry to hear about your skin condition. Hopefully I can provide you with some help. I would like to start by saying that you can always start by contacting your OBGYN or your pharmacy for instructions on how to administer your medication. According to the National Institute of Health the cream/ointment should be applied topic...

I was given this tube of cream but, what is it supposed to do? ## I'm curious as to why someone would give you a prescription based tube of cream without telling you what it was. Bad business... Clobetasol propionate cream and ointment contain the active compound clobetasol propionate; a synthetic corticosteroid, for topical dermatologic use. It is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic 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. Please post back if you have any other questions or comments to add. ## I was given this foam and because my scalp sores are ...

I have pimples on my face, that's why I want to use salicylic acid ointment. ## Does anyone know about the availability of Clobetasol Salicylic Acid Ointment online or if it requires a doctor's prescription? ## Clobetasol is a steroid class medication, so there is risk of it actually causing acne, rather than helping alleviate it, according to NIH reports. Other side effects may include skin redness, irritation, and skin flaking. MOHD, it depends on where you live, the U.S. requires a prescription, but that is not applicable in all countries. What other medications have you both tried?

can we use clobetasol propionate & salicylic acid ointment to the private parts? ## You should not use anything on your genitals that has not been specifically formulated to be used on them, unless your doctor has instructed you to do so.

I have dark black spots on face caused by burning. can i use lobate gm neo to remove spots ## I have to many pimples in my face ## Can I use lobate gm neo 15m on my face for pimples and acne? Does it have any side effect? Thanks! ## Lobate-GM is listed as containing Clobetasol, which is a type of steroid. Thus, that means it may actually worsen some skin conditions, such as acne, because it can actually cause it, as a side effect. Other possible side effects, as listed by the FDA, may include skin dryness, redness and irritation. Taani, it isn't likely that it will help those dark spots, either.

The tube I got from the pharamacy expires in 1 yr. Is 1 yr normal? It is for clobetasol propionate. Can I use it after the yr is up. The prescription tube is for the spray. Is the spray more potent then the ointment as it seems to work quicker but makes me very tired. ## I was given a prescription for Clobetasol. The prescription box says not to use it after 1 year. I live in N.J. Is it normal for Clobetasol to expire after one yr? The Clobetasol is advised to be used once in the am and once in the pm. I am getting terrible bruising in the area of my arm most affected by psoriasis. ## Yes, your pharmacy would not give you an inaccurate expiration date.
