Clobetasol

Pregnancy Pregnancy: The use of clobetasol during pregnancy should only be considered if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to the foetus.​​​‍​​‍​​​​‍​​‍‍ The minimum amount should be used for the shortest period of time. Breastfeeding Breastfeeding: The use of this medicine during breastfeeding is not recommended. It is very important that the doctor checks progress at regular visits for any adverse effects that may be caused by clobetasol. If symptoms do not improve within a few days, or if they worsen, consult the doctor. Excessive use of clobetasol or prolonged use may increase the risk of adrenal gland problems. The risk is higher for children and patients who use large amounts over a long period. Speak with the doctor immediately if you experience more than one of these symptoms while using clobetasol: blurred vision, dizziness or fainting, a fast or irregular heartbeat, increased thirst or urination, irritability, tiredness or weakness. Speak with the doctor immediately if you have a skin allergy, burning, stinging, swelling, or skin irritation. Make sure the doctor knows you are using clobetasol cream or gel. You may need to stop using clobetasol several days before surgery. Do not use clobetasol together with other medicines containing topical corticosteroids, such as betamethasone, hydrocortisone, or triamcinolone. Using these medicines together may cause serious adverse effects. Do not use cosmetics or other skincare products on the treated areas.
