Here's how you should use Clobiderm S 0.05/6 % Ointment 20 GM:

• First, ensure the area of skin you need to apply the ointment to is clean and dry.
• Using your fingertip or a clean cotton swab, gently apply the ointment to the affected area.
• Your doctor will prescribe the amount needed based on factors such as the size of the affected area.
• Rub the ointment gently and completely into your skin, covering the whole affected area with a thin layer.
• After applying, wash your hands thoroughly to prevent any possible spread of infection.

Clobiderm S 0.05/6 % Ointment 20 GM is applied topically.

Clobiderm S 0.05/6 % Ointment 20 GM contains two active ingredients:

• Clobetasol propionate (0.05%): As a potent topical corticosteroid, clobetasol propionate helps calm inflammation and itching by interfering with the body's natural inflammatory response. It does this by blocking key steps in the process that lead to the production of inflammatory chemicals.
• Salicylic acid (6%): Acting as a keratolytic agent, salicylic acid softens and loosens dry, scaly skin. It works by dissolving the cement that holds epithelial cells together, increasing the moisture content of the top layer of skin (stratum corneum). This enables better penetration of clobetasol into the skin.

• Store Clobiderm S 0.05/6 % Ointment 20 GM at room temperature in a dry, cool place.
• Keep the ointment tube tightly closed when not in use to prevent air exposure.
• Keep it out of the reach of children.
• Always use the medicine before the expiration date.

• Include omega-3 fatty acids in your diet, which are found in foods like fish and flaxseeds. They can help reduce inflammation.
• Maintaining a good skin moisturising routine can be helpful for people with eczema. Use a non-medicated moisturizer to soothe your skin and reduce dryness.
