Want to know the complete use and purpose of this ointmentWhat is the use of CLOBETASONE OINTMENT BP? It was priscribed by a dermatologist for skin allergy..?
It is a topical corticosteroid used primarily for it's anti-inflammatory and/or immunosuppressive effects and is effective in dermatosis responsive to corticosteroids which are the secretions of adrenal cortex.If applied on large areas or if occlusive dressing is used for long periods on larger areas to improve absorption,can result into systemic side effects.Never use it on areas close to the eyes.Ointment retains moisture for longer time thus improves absorption as compaired to the cream.It is effective in skin conditions as an anti-inflammatory and,an anti-pruritic agent i.e.itching.Go strictly as per doctor's advise for duration of treatment.
