Dosage for Cream and Ointment: For adults, the elderly, and children over 1 year, apply a thin layer of Clobetasol Propionate Cream or Ointment to the affected skin areas twice daily, rubbing it in gently and completely. Repeated short courses of Clobetasol Propionate may be used to control flare-ups. In more resistant lesions, especially where thickened skin is present, the effect of Clobetasol can be enhanced, if necessary, by covering the treated area with polythene film. Overnight covering alone is usually enough to bring about a satisfactory response. Clobetasol Propionate is a super-high potency topical corticosteroid, so treatment should be limited to 2 consecutive weeks, and the maximum weekly dose should not exceed 50 gm per week. For children, courses should be limited if possible to five days and reviewed weekly. Spray: Apply the required amount of spray once or twice daily to the affected areas of the scalp and rub in gently. The total dose applied should not exceed 50 ml per week. If needed, Clobetasol Propionate scalp solution may be massaged into the scalp using the fingertips. Treatment should be stopped if no response is seen after one week, or as soon as the lesion heals. It is advisable to use Clobetasol Propionate scalp solution only for brief periods. Shampoo: This should be applied to a dry, not wet, scalp once a day, to the affected areas only. It should be massaged gently into the lesions and left in place for 15 minutes before lathering and rinsing. Treatment should be limited to 4 consecutive weeks, and the total dosage of shampoo should not exceed 50 g per week. This preparation is not recommended for those under 18 years of age. Scalp Solution: Apply the required amount of Clobetasol Scalp Solution spray once or twice daily to the affected areas of the scalp and rub in gently. The total dose applied should not exceed 50 ml per week. If needed, Clobetasol Scalp Solution may be massaged into the scalp using the fingertips. Treatment should be stopped if no response is seen after one week, or as soon as the lesion heals. It is advisable to use Clobetasol Scalp Solution only for brief periods.
