Clobex Shampoo (active ingredient: clobetasol propionate) is a prescription corticosteroid used to treat moderate to severe scalp psoriasis in adults 18 years of age and older. It is a very potent topical corticosteroid designed for short-term treatment of inflammation and other symptoms affecting the scalp.

Moderate to Severe Scalp Psoriasis

Clobex Shampoo is used to treat moderate to severe psoriasis of the scalp.

Scalp psoriasis is a long-term inflammatory skin condition that causes skin cells to build up more quickly than normal. This can lead to thick, scaly patches on the scalp.

Symptoms may include:

  • Red or inflamed patches
  • Thick or silvery scales
  • Flaking
  • Dryness
  • Itching
  • Burning or irritation
  • Tenderness or discomfort

Clobex Shampoo helps reduce these symptoms by decreasing inflammation and calming the immune activity involved in psoriasis.

Helps Reduce Redness and Inflammation

Psoriasis causes an overactive inflammatory response in the skin.

Clobetasol helps suppress this response, which can reduce redness, swelling, and irritation in affected areas of the scalp.

As inflammation improves, the scalp may feel less itchy, sore, or uncomfortable.

Helps Reduce Scaling

Scalp psoriasis can cause skin cells to build up and form thick scales.

By controlling inflammation, Clobex Shampoo can help reduce the thickness and appearance of these scaly patches over time.

Helps Relieve Itching

Itching can be one of the most uncomfortable symptoms of scalp psoriasis.

Clobetasol reduces inflammatory activity in the skin, which may help relieve itching and make the scalp more comfortable.

How Clobex Shampoo Works

Clobex Shampoo contains clobetasol propionate, a very potent topical corticosteroid.

Calms the Inflammatory Response

Corticosteroids reduce the activity of substances in the body that contribute to inflammation.

When Clobex Shampoo is applied to affected areas of the scalp, clobetasol helps decrease the inflammatory response associated with psoriasis.

This can reduce redness, swelling, itching, and irritation.

Suppresses Excess Immune Activity

Psoriasis involves abnormal immune activity that speeds up skin-cell production and promotes inflammation.

Clobetasol helps suppress this local immune response. As a result, inflammation decreases and psoriasis plaques may become less noticeable.

Works Directly on the Scalp

Clobex Shampoo is applied directly to affected areas of the scalp.

This allows the medication to work primarily where psoriasis symptoms are present.

Although it is applied to the skin, some clobetasol can still be absorbed into the body. This is one reason treatment should be limited to the amount and duration prescribed by your healthcare provider.

What to Expect During Treatment

With regular use, Clobex Shampoo may gradually improve redness, scaling, itching, and other symptoms of scalp psoriasis.

How quickly symptoms improve can vary from person to person.

Continue using the shampoo exactly as directed, but do not use it longer than recommended simply because some symptoms remain.

Clobex Shampoo Is Intended for Short-Term Use

Because clobetasol is a very potent corticosteroid, Clobex Shampoo should be used for the shortest amount of time needed to control scalp psoriasis.

Current U.S. prescribing information limits treatment to 4 consecutive weeks and recommends not exceeding 50 mL per week.

Using a potent topical corticosteroid for too long or in excessive amounts can increase the risk of local skin problems and corticosteroid-related effects elsewhere in the body.

Does Clobex Shampoo Treat Seborrheic Dermatitis?

The approved U.S. indication for Clobex Shampoo is moderate to severe scalp psoriasis in adults. Seborrheic dermatitis is not listed as an approved indication in the U.S. prescribing information for this specific product.

A healthcare provider may sometimes use corticosteroid treatments for other inflammatory scalp conditions, but this should be based on individual medical guidance.

Clobex Shampoo Controls Symptoms, Not the Cause

Clobex Shampoo can help control a psoriasis flare, but it does not permanently cure psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a chronic condition, so symptoms may return after treatment is stopped.

Your healthcare provider may recommend other scalp treatments or a maintenance plan if psoriasis continues to return.

Important Treatment Reminder

Use Clobex Shampoo only on the scalp and exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Do not use more than recommended, apply it to other areas of the body, or continue treatment beyond the prescribed period without medical advice.

Clobex Shampoo is a prescription corticosteroid shampoo used on the scalp. It is usually applied once daily to a dry scalp and should be used exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.

Apply Clobex Shampoo to a Dry Scalp

Do not wet your hair or scalp before applying Clobex Shampoo.

Part the hair so you can clearly see the areas affected by psoriasis. Apply a thin layer of shampoo directly to those areas only.

Gently Rub It Into the Affected Areas

Use your fingertips to gently spread the shampoo over the psoriasis lesions.

You only need enough medication to lightly cover the affected skin. Avoid using a large amount or spreading it over unaffected areas of the scalp.

Leave the Shampoo on for 15 Minutes

After applying Clobex Shampoo, leave it on the dry scalp for 15 minutes.

Do not cover your scalp with a shower cap, towel, bandage, or other covering unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to do so.

Add Water and Lather

After 15 minutes, wet your hair and scalp with water.

Gently work the shampoo into a lather, making sure the treated areas are rinsed thoroughly.

Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse all of the shampoo from your hair and scalp with water.

You generally do not need to use another shampoo afterward, although a regular non-medicated shampoo may be used if desired.

Wash Away Any Shampoo on Other Skin

Try to keep Clobex Shampoo only on the affected scalp.

If the medication comes into contact with your face, neck, shoulders, hands, or other areas, rinse those areas thoroughly with water.

Avoid getting the shampoo in your eyes or on your lips.

Use Clobex Shampoo Once Daily

Clobex Shampoo is generally applied once each day.

Try to use it at approximately the same time each day so treatment is easier to remember.

Do not apply it more frequently unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to do so.

Do Not Use More Than 50 mL Per Week

The total amount of Clobex Shampoo should not exceed 50 mL, or about 1.75 fluid ounces, per week.

Using larger amounts can increase the amount of clobetasol absorbed into your body and may raise the risk of corticosteroid-related side effects.

Limit Treatment to the Prescribed Period

Clobex Shampoo is a very potent corticosteroid and is intended for short-term use.

Treatment should generally not continue for more than 4 consecutive weeks. If your scalp psoriasis has not improved after 4 weeks, contact your healthcare provider so your condition and treatment can be reassessed.

Do Not Use It on Other Parts of the Body

Clobex Shampoo is intended for use on the scalp.

Do not apply it to the face, underarms, groin, or other areas of the body unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.

If You Miss an Application

If you forget to use Clobex Shampoo, apply it when you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled application.

If your next application is close, skip the missed one and return to your regular schedule.

Do not apply extra shampoo to make up for a missed application.

Stop When Your Scalp Improves

Clobex Shampoo should be used for the shortest amount of time needed to control scalp psoriasis.

If your symptoms improve before the prescribed treatment period ends, follow your healthcare provider’s instructions about whether to stop treatment.

Because clobetasol is a very potent corticosteroid, continued unnecessary use can increase the risk of skin thinning and systemic corticosteroid effects.

Important Treatment Reminder

Use Clobex Shampoo only as prescribed. Apply it to dry, affected areas of the scalp, leave it in place for 15 minutes, then wet, lather, and rinse thoroughly.

Do not exceed 50 mL per week or continue treatment beyond 4 consecutive weeks unless your healthcare provider specifically advises otherwise.

Treatment is generally limited to 4 consecutive weeks, and the total amount should not exceed 50 mL per week. If your scalp psoriasis has not improved after 4 weeks, contact your healthcare provider for further advice.

Skin Irritation

Clobex Shampoo may cause burning, itching, redness, dryness, or irritation at the application site.

People with sensitive skin may be more likely to experience these effects. Contact your healthcare provider if irritation becomes severe or does not improve.

Skin Thinning and Other Skin Changes

Using Clobex Shampoo for too long or in excessive amounts can increase the risk of skin changes.

These may include thinning of the skin, changes in skin colour, stretch marks, or increased skin sensitivity.

Use only the amount recommended by your healthcare provider.

Use in Children

Clobex Shampoo is indicated for adults 18 years of age and older.

Its safety and effectiveness have not been established in people younger than 18 years, so it should not be used in children unless specifically directed by a healthcare provider.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before using Clobex Shampoo.

Your healthcare provider can determine whether the benefits of treatment outweigh any potential risks.

Avoid the Eyes and Face

Clobex Shampoo is for use on the scalp only.

Avoid getting it in your eyes, mouth, or other sensitive areas. Do not apply it to the face unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to do so.

If the shampoo gets into your eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water.

Do Not Cover the Scalp

Do not cover the treated scalp with a shower cap, bathing cap, towel, or other covering unless your healthcare provider tells you to do so.

Covering the area may increase the amount of clobetasol absorbed through the skin and increase the risk of side effects.

Avoid Broken or Infected Skin

Do not apply Clobex Shampoo to open wounds or severely damaged areas of the scalp.

Tell your healthcare provider if you think you have a scalp infection. Corticosteroids can sometimes make certain infections harder to control.

Medication Interactions

Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and other topical medications you use.

This is especially important if you are using other corticosteroid medicines because combining them may increase your overall exposure to corticosteroids.

Allergic Reactions

Do not use Clobex Shampoo if you are allergic to clobetasol propionate or any ingredient in the product.

Stop using the medication and seek medical attention if you develop severe swelling, hives, difficulty breathing, or another serious allergic reaction.

Accidental Swallowing

Clobex Shampoo is for external use only and should not be swallowed.

If it is accidentally swallowed, contact a healthcare professional or poison control service for guidance.
