How Does it Work
Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% Topical/Vaginal Gel is a corticosteroid used to treat numerous dermatological conditions in women's health, namely Lichen Sclerosis. It is primarily used as a topical or vaginal application.
Clobetasol Propionate works to reduce inflammation by decreasing the production of inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines, in the inflamed tissue. This action relieves itching and redness associated with the condition, allowing the tissue to remain moisturized and reduce discomfort. Furthermore, the topical/vaginal application prevents systemic absorption, preventing systemic side effects.
Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% Topical/Vaginal Gel is a powerful corticosteroid, and should be used cautiously with attention to potential adverse reactions. Prolonged and/or excessive use of topical/vaginal corticosteroids can lead to skin atrophy, telangectasia, or striae, or systemic adverse effects, such as hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, Cushing's syndrome, immunosuppression, and adrenal insufficiency. Local adverse effects, like excessive burning or stinging, may also occur following application of the gel. Therefore, it is important to monitor closely for any adverse reactions and always adhere to the prescribed dosing.

Additionally, it can be used to treat conditions such as alopecia, contact dermatitis, and seborrhea.
