Uses

Clobetasol Propionate Shampoo, 0.05% is a super-high potent topical corticosteroid formulation indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe forms of scalp psoriasis in subjects 18 years of age and older (see PRECAUTIONS). Treatment should be limited to four consecutive weeks because of the potential for the drug to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The total dosage should not exceed 50g (50 mL or 1.75 fl. oz.) per week (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).

Patients should be instructed to use Clobetasol Propionate Shampoo, 0.05%, for the minimum time period necessary to achieve the desired results (see PRECAUTIONS).

Use in patients younger than 18 years of age is not recommended due to numerically high rates of HPA axis suppression (see PRECAUTIONS, Pediatric Use).

There were insufficient numbers of non-Caucasian patients to determine whether they responded differently than Caucasian patients with regards to efficacy and safety.
