Clobetasoldosage

Apply a thin layer of clobetasol propionate cream USP to the affected skin areas twice daily and rub in gently and completely (see INDICATIONS AND USAGE ). Clobetasol propionate cream is super-high potency topical corticosteroids; therefore, treatment should be limited to 2 consecutive weeks and amounts greater than 50 g/week should not be used. As with other highly active corticosteroids, therapy should be discontinued when control has been achieved. If no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, reassessment of diagnosis may be necessary. Clobetasol propionate cream should not be used with occlusive dressings. Geriatric Use In studies where geriatric patients (65 years of age or older, see PRECAUTIONS ) have been treated with clobetasol propionate cream, safety did not differ from that in younger patients; therefore, no dosage adjustment is recommended.
