Frequently asked questions
Can Clobhit 0.05% Cream be used for a long time?
No, Clobhit 0.05% Cream should not be used for prolonged periods. The prescribed treatment is generally limited to two consecutive weeks. However, the duration can be extended in cases of chronic inflammatory conditions. Please consult your physician before continuing use.
Does Clobhit 0.05% Cream cause severe skin reactions?
Severe skin reactions are uncommon with Clobhit 0.05% Cream. It is essential to note that this medication belongs to a class of drugs known as anti-inflammatory agents which are used for treating various skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis and acne. However, in rare cases, hypersensitivity can trigger skin reactions. To minimize risks, it's crucial to maintain proper ventilation by avoiding occlusive dressings and promptly informing your physician if you experience any symptoms related to the medication.
Can Clobhit 0.05% Cream be used on the face?
No, applying Clobhit 0.05% Cream directly to the face is not recommended. Furthermore, this medication should not be applied to the armpits, groin, or areas with tissue atrophy at the site of treatment. In certain circumstances, it might be prescribed by your doctor after careful consideration and limited to a maximum duration of five days. Always consult with your physician before use.
Can Clobhit 0.05% Cream be used on children?
Clobhit 0.05% Cream is not suitable for infants under one year of age. It's also discouraged for older children and adolescents due to higher risks of side effects. The immune system in young individuals may be more susceptible, increasing the risk of developing complications or atrophy at the treatment site. In some rare cases, a doctor may prescribe it but the duration is generally limited to five days with ongoing monitoring.
Can we use Clobhit 0.05% Cream in infections?
Clobhit 0.05% Cream is not an antimicrobial or antifungal agent. It is a corticosteroid medication that primarily functions as an anti-inflammatory drug. Therefore, it's not advisable for treating infections because it suppresses the immune system and increases susceptibility to secondary infections. Bacterial infections can worsen if the affected area is covered with a dressing after using Clobhit 0.05% Cream. If there's any sign of infection (e.g., pus or redness) , consult your doctor immediately, as they will likely recommend appropriate antimicrobial therapy instead.
