Clobevate Cream 20g contains Clobetasol Propionate 0.05%, a potent topical corticosteroid. It works by reducing inflammation and suppressing excessive immune activity in the skin, helping relieve symptoms such as redness, itching, swelling, and irritation.

Clobevate may be prescribed for certain inflammatory skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Because clobetasol is a high-potency steroid, it should be used only as directed by a healthcare professional and generally for short treatment periods.

Precautions

Clobevate contains a very potent corticosteroid and should not be used as a general moisturizer or skin-whitening cream. Avoid prolonged use, particularly on the face, groin, or skin folds, unless specifically prescribed by a doctor.

Avoid contact with the eyes. Do not apply to untreated fungal, bacterial, or viral skin infections unless your healthcare professional has specifically advised its use. Using a potent steroid on an undiagnosed infection can make the condition worse.

Consult a doctor before using it on children or over large areas of skin.
