Clobex Dosage/Direction for Use

CLOBEX Shampoo should be applied onto dry (not wet) scalp once a day in a thin film to the affected areas only, and left in place for 15 minutes before rinsing.
Move the hair away from the scalp so that one of the affected areas is exposed. Position the bottle over the lesion. Apply a small amount of the shampoo directly onto the lesion, letting the product naturally flow from the bottle (gently squeeze the bottle), avoiding any contact of the product with the facial skin, eyes or lips. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Spread the product so that the entire lesion is covered with a thin uniform film. Massage gently into the lesion and repeat for additional lesion(s). Wash your hands after applying CLOBEX Shampoo.
Leave the shampoo in place for 15 minutes, then add water, lather and rinse thoroughly all parts of the scalp and body that came in contact with the shampoo (e.g., hands, face, neck and shoulders). Avoid contact with eyes and lips. Minimize contact to non-affected areas of the body.
Although no additional shampoo is necessary to cleanse your hair, you may use a non-medicated shampoo if desired.
The treatment should be limited to maximum 4 consecutive weeks. As with other corticosteroids, therapy should be discontinued when control is achieved. Clobetasol propionate belongs to the most potent class of topical corticosteroids and prolonged use may result in serious undesirable effects (see Precautions). If complete disease control is not achieved after four weeks of treatment with CLOBEX Shampoo 0.05%, and treatment with a topical 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. If no improvement is seen within 4 weeks, reassessment of the diagnosis may be necessary.
CLOBEX Shampoo should not be used with occlusive dressings unless directed by a physician.
