Clobikem-S Ointment (20 Gm) Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% W/W + Salicylic Acid 3% W/W By Alkem

Composition:\
Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% w/w + Salicylic Acid 3% w/w. Clobetasol is a potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and itching, while salicylic acid helps remove thickened or scaly skin.

Uses:\
Used for certain inflammatory and scaly skin conditions, such as psoriasis and eczema, when prescribed by a doctor.

How to Use:\
Clean and dry the affected area before application. Apply a thin layer to the affected skin as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily. Wash your hands before and after application unless the hands are being treated. Use only for the prescribed duration. Avoid covering the treated area with tight dressings unless advised by your doctor.

Precautions & Warnings:\
For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, face, groin, and other sensitive areas unless specifically directed by your doctor. Do not apply to broken, infected, or severely irritated skin unless advised. Clobetasol is a very potent steroid and prolonged or excessive use may cause skin thinning, stretch marks, or other skin changes. Salicylic acid may cause irritation, particularly on sensitive or damaged skin. Keep away from children.

Possible Side Effects:\
Burning, stinging, redness, dryness, itching, or irritation at the application site may occur. Prolonged or excessive use may cause skin thinning, stretch marks, changes in skin colour, or increased hair growth. Stop use and seek medical advice if severe irritation or an allergic reaction occurs.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding:\
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this medicine. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if specifically prescribed. Avoid applying to the breast or nipple area before breastfeeding.

Storage:\
Store at room temperature, away from excessive heat and moisture. Keep out of reach and sight of children. Do not use after the expiry date.

Important Safety Information:\
Use only as prescribed and for the recommended duration. Do not use clobetasol-containing medicines for prolonged periods or on large areas of the body without medical supervision. Avoid use on the face unless specifically prescribed. Do not use for undiagnosed rashes or infections, as clobetasol may mask or worsen certain skin infections. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist, worsen, or recur.
