• Unless specifically advised by your doctor, refrain from using bandages or dressing over the treated area, as this can increase the risk of adverse effects.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after application, unless the hands are the area being treated.

Cloderm 0.05 % Ointment 15 GM is applied topically.

Cloderm 0.05 % Ointment 15 GM contains 0.05% clobetasol propionate as its active ingredient, a potent corticosteroid that works in the following ways:

• It binds to specific receptors in skin cells. Upon binding to these receptors, clobetasol influences gene expression in a way that suppresses the body’s inflammatory and immune response, effectively reducing redness, swelling, and itching. This action provides significant relief from the symptoms associated with various inflammatory skin conditions.

• Store Cloderm 0.05 % Ointment 15 GM at normal room temperature, ideally below 30°C.
• Keep away from direct heat and sunlight, ensuring a dry and cool place.
• Always keep the medicine out of reach of children.
• Be sure to use this medicine before its expiration date.

• Apply a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free moisturiser regularly to combat dryness and prevent skin from cracking.
• Protect your skin from the sun by wearing sunscreen and protective clothing, as UV rays can worsen skin conditions.
• Resist the urge to scratch, as it can worsen inflammation and lead to complications. Keep nails short to minimise damage from scratching.
• Limit exposure to environmental irritants and allergens that can trigger or worsen your skin condition.
