Clonate 0.05% Ointment is used for the short-term treatment of severe, stubborn skin conditions such as psoriasis, resistant eczema and lichen planus. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing clobetasol propionate, a very strong corticosteroid (steroid).
The ointment base is greasy and moisturising, which makes it suitable for thick, dry and scaly skin. It is usually used when milder steroids have not worked. Apply a thin layer to the affected area as directed by your doctor and wash your hands afterwards, unless treating the hands. Treatment is usually limited to short courses.
Do not cover the treated area with airtight dressings unless advised. Using a gentle moisturiser between treatments and avoiding irritants can help keep the skin comfortable.
This ointment is for use on the skin only. Do not use it on the face, groin or underarms, or on large areas, unless your doctor advises, and it is not suitable for children under 1 year. Before using it, tell your doctor if you have a skin infection, acne, rosacea or a rash around the mouth, and about other skin products you use. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Contact your doctor if you notice thinning skin, stretch marks, or no improvement after 2 weeks. Do not stop using this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
