Cloderm Special Precautions

Discontinue use if irritation or sensitivity develops. Safety of its use during pregnancy and lactation has not been established. Thus it should be used only if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the foetus or nursing infant. Special care must be taken when giving to paediatric patients as systemic absorption can occur in topical administration causing growth retardation. Caution is advised if the medication is to be applied to extensive surface area. Long-term continuous topical therapy should be avoided. Not suitable for ophthalmic use.
Cream: Do not use in or around the eyes.
Cream & Scalp application: Visual disturbance may be reported with systemic and topical corticosteroid use. If a patient presents with symptoms such as blurred vision or other visual disturbances, the patients should be considered for referral to an ophthalmologist for evaluation of possible causes which may include cataract, glaucoma, or rare diseases such as central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) which have been reported after use of systemic and topical corticosteroids.
