Uses
Clobetasol propionate foam, 0.05% is a super-potent topical corticosteroid indicated for short-term topical treatment of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of moderate to severe corticosteroid responsive dermatoses of the scalp, and for short-term topical treatment of mild to moderate plaque-type psoriasis of non-scalp regions excluding the face and intertriginous areas.
Treatment beyond 2 consecutive weeks is not recommended and the total dosage should not exceed 50 g per week because of the potential for the drug to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. In a controlled pharmacokinetic study, some subjects experienced reversible suppression of the adrenals following 14 days of clobetasol propionate foam, 0.05% therapy (See ADVERSE REACTIONS).
Use in children under 12 years of age is not recommended.
History

Note: For proper dispensing of foam, hold the can upside down and depress the actuator.
Clobetasol propionate foam, 0.05% should be applied to the affected area twice daily, once in the morning and once at night. Invert the can and dispense a small amount of clobetasol propionate foam, 0.05% (up to a maximum of a golf-ball-size dollop or one and a half capfuls) into the cap of the can, onto a saucer or other cool surface, or to the lesion, taking care to avoid contact with the eyes. Dispensing directly onto hands is not recommended (unless the hands are the affected area), as the foam will begin to melt immediately upon contact with warm skin. When applying clobetasol propionate foam, 0.05% to a hair-bearing area, move the hair away from the affected area so that the foam can be applied to each affected area. Pick up small amounts with fingertips and gently massage into affected area until the foam disappears. Repeat until entire affected area is treated.
Apply the smallest amount possible that sufficiently covers the affected area(s). No more than one and a half capfuls of foam should be used at each application. Do not apply to face or intertriginous areas.
Clobetasol propionate foam, 0.05% is a super-high-potency topical corticosteroid; therefore, treatment should be limited to 2 consecutive weeks and amounts greater than 50 g/week should not be used. Use in pediatric patients under 12 years of age is not recommended.
Unless directed by a physician, clobetasol propionate foam, 0.05% should not be used with occlusive dressings.
