Product introduction

Clobith 0.05% Cream belongs to a group of medicines called steroids. It is used to treat various skin conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, and allergies. It works by reducing swelling, redness, and itchiness of the skin and prevents further irritation.

However, if they persist or worsen, let your doctor know. Clobith 0.05% Cream is not recommended to be used in children. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctors before using this medicine.

Severe skin reactions are quite rare with Clobith 0.05% Cream. Clobith 0.05% Cream is an anti-inflammatory drug which is used to treat skin diseases, skin reactions and eczemas. However, skin reactions can occur in a person who is hypersensitive to Clobith 0.05% Cream. It is important to leave the affected area open after applying Clobith 0.05% Cream as using occlusive dressings (air- and water-tight dressing) can lead to skin reactions.

Inform your doctor immediately in case you encounter any skin reactions.

Q. Can Clobith 0.05% Cream be used on the face?

No, Clobith 0.05% Cream should not be used on the face.

In the pediatric population, there is an increased risk of suppression of the immune system which may make the child prone to other diseases and atrophic changes, hence it is not recommended. Still, in some rare cases, the doctor may recommend this medicine, but the treatment is usually limited to 5 days and the therapy is reviewed weekly.

Q. Can we use Clobith 0.05% Cream in infections?

Clobith 0.05% Cream is not an antimicrobial or antifungal agent. It is a steroid medication. It should not be used in infections as being a corticosteroid, it suppresses the immune system and increases the risk of infections. Bacterial infections are prone to worsen if the infection is covered with a dressing after using Clobith 0.05% Cream.

The doctor will withdraw the use of Clobith 0.05% Cream and provide appropriate antimicrobial therapy.

Q. Does Clobith 0.05% Cream cause dangerous skin reactions?

Local skin reactions are quite rare with Clobith 0.05% Cream. Being an anti-inflammatory drug, it is used to treat skin diseases, skin reactions, and eczemas. Still, skin reactions can occur in a person who is hypersensitive to Clobith 0.05% Cream. It is important to leave the affected area open after applying Clobith 0.05% Cream as using occlusive dressings (air- and water-tight dressing) can lead to skin reactions. If not by the medicine itself, sometimes the reactions are also caused by the added excipients with the medications. Inform your doctor immediately in case you encounter any skin reactions.
