Temovate Topical Solution

The active ingredient in Temovate topical solution is clobetasol propionate, an ultra-high potency topical corticosteroid. Clobetasol calms down the immune system, which reduces inflammation and can improve symptoms of dermatoses like itchiness.

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using clobetasol topical solution. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of clobetasol solution:

-Gently wash and dry the scalp.

-Apply a thin layer of clobetasol topical solution once or twice daily only to the affected areas of skin.

Some individuals may experience serious side effects while using clobetasol topical solution. These side effects may require immediate medical attention. If you experience any of the following, contact your healthcare provider or seek emergency medical help:

-Skin thinning: This may occur with long-term use of topical corticosteroids.

-Unexplained weakness and fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and feeling faint or having low blood pressure: These may be symptoms of adrenal suppression (when your adrenal glands stop producing enough cortisol). This may occur if clobetasol solution is applied to large areas, broken skin, or for long periods of time.

-Severe itchiness, a spreading skin rash, hives, or swelling of the tongue and face: these may be symptoms of an allergic reaction.
