Frequently asked questions
Can Clobshine 0.05% Cream be used for a long time?
No, Clobshine 0.05% Cream should not be used for prolonged periods. Treatment duration is generally limited to two consecutive weeks by healthcare professionals. However, in chronic (long-term) inflammatory conditions, treatment can be extended as prescribed by the physician.
Does Clobshine 0.05% Cream cause severe skin reactions?
While rare, Clobshine 0.05% Cream may cause severe skin reactions in some individuals. Clobshine 0.05% Cream is used to treat inflammatory conditions and skin diseases. However, hypersensitivity can lead to adverse effects. It's essential to maintain open affected areas after application as occlusive dressings (air-tight or water-tight) could potentially worsen skin reactions. The medicine itself may not cause a reaction, but the added excipients in the formulation might trigger a reaction in some cases. If you experience any skin reactions, consult your physician immediately.
Can Clobshine 0.05% Cream be used on the face?
Clobshine 0.05% Cream is not recommended for use on the face or in sensitive areas like the armpits, groin, or areas with tissue atrophy. In certain rare instances, a doctor may prescribe it, but it should only be applied after consulting with your physician, and preferably for no more than five days.
Can Clobshine 0.05% Cream be used on children?
Clobshine 0.05% Cream is not recommended for use in children under one year of age. It's also not recommended for use in older children and adolescents as side effects are more prevalent in these groups. The risk of immune suppression in young children increases their susceptibility to other illnesses and atrophy, making its use inappropriate. However, in rare cases, a doctor might prescribe it. The treatment is usually limited to five days, with the therapy reviewed weekly.
Can we use Clobshine 0.05% Cream for infections?
Clobshine 0.05% Cream does not have antimicrobial or antifungal properties. It is a corticosteroid that inhibits immune function and could increase the risk of infection. Bacterial infections can worsen if they are covered with a dressing after Clobshine 0.05% Cream application. In the event that inflammatory lesions become infected or experience spread, seek immediate medical attention. Your doctor will switch to appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
Can I stop taking Clobshine 0.05% Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue Clobshine 0.05% Cream before your full course of treatment is completed. Even if you experience symptom improvement, it's important to finish the prescribed duration to prevent recurrence of your condition. Stopping medication prematurely can potentially worsen symptoms.
Does Clobshine 0.05% Cream cause dangerous skin reactions?
Local skin reactions are uncommon with Clobshine 0.05% Cream as an anti-inflammatory drug used to treat inflammatory and skin conditions. However, hypersensitivity can result in severe reactions. It's crucial to leave the affected area open after applying Clobshine 0.05% Cream to prevent occlusive dressings (air-tight or water-tight) that could potentially cause skin reactions. The medicine itself might not trigger a reaction, but some excipients added to the medication may lead to them. In case of any skin reactions, consult your doctor immediately.
