Clobex Dosage/Direction for Use

For cutaneous use. One application per day. A half tablespoon (around 7.5 ml) per application is sufficient to cover all the scalp. Should be applied directly on dry scalp. Hands should be washed carefully after application. Should be then kept in place without covering for 15 minutes before rinsing with water. Therapy should be discontinued when control has been achieved. If no improvement is seen within 4 weeks, reassessment of diagnosis may be necessary. The treatment is limited to maximum 4 weeks. The total dosage should not exceed 50 g per week.
Treatment of seborrheic dermatitis, in the acute phase (in flares): use the Clobetasol propionate (Clobex) shampoo twice a week, alternating with ketoconazole shampoo, twice a week, for 4 weeks.
Maintenance treatment for prevention of recurrence in case of psoriasis: two applications per week, for maximally 6 months. Clobetasol propionate belongs to the most potent class of topical corticosteroids (class IV/class I) and prolonged use may result in serious undesirable effects (see Precautions). If treatment with a local corticosteroid is clinically justified beyond 4 weeks, a less potent corticosteroid preparation should be considered. Repeated but short courses of clobetasol propionate may be used to control exacerbations.
