How it works
Clobidex-S Dermal is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Salicylic Acid. Clobetasol is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic medicine which breaks down keratin clumps, removes dead skin cells, and softens the skin. It also enhances the absorption of Clobetasol into the skin.
Quick Tips
Apply to the affected areas as a thin film two or three times daily or as advised by your doctor. Don't cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor as this may increase the risk of side effects. After you have applied Clobidex-S Dermal, remember to wash your hands (unless your hands are the treated area). Use a mild moisturizer regularly to overcome the skin dryness during the course of treatment. Consult your doctor if your skin condition has not improved after 2 weeks of treatment.

Frequently asked questions
How should I use Clobidex-S Dermal?
Follow the directions given by your doctor or found on the medicine packaging. Apply a thin layer of Clobidex-S Dermal to the affected skin areas and ensure sufficient coverage. Typically, you will apply it twice or three times per day to those specific areas. Remember to wash your hands after applying the medication unless you are using it to treat a hand infection.
Should I stop using Clobidex-S Dermal when my symptoms improve?
No, do not stop using Clobidex-S Dermal. Complete the full course of treatment even if your symptoms are improving. Your symptoms may improve before the disease is fully treated.
What precautions should I take while using Clobidex-S Dermal?
Clobidex-S Dermal should not be applied to the face. Do not use it for longer than the recommended time period. Do not apply a bandage or dressing over the treated area, as this will increase absorption and risk of side effects. This medication should only be used by the patient and never given to others, even if they have similar symptoms.
Will Clobidex-S Dermal be more effective if taken in higher amounts than prescribed?
No, using Clobidex-S Dermal beyond the recommended dosage will not increase its effectiveness. Overusing can lead to excessive absorption of the medication into the body, potentially causing skin thinning or weakening and other serious side effects. If you experience an increase in your symptoms' severity, please consult your doctor for a re-evaluation.
How should I store and dispose of Clobidex-S Dermal?
Keep the medication in its original container or packaging, tightly sealed. Store according to the instructions provided on the packaging label. Dispose of any unused medication safely, ensuring it is inaccessible to pets, children, and others.
