Description |
Ulobetasol (INN) or halobetasol (USAN) is a corticosteroid used to treat psoriasis. It is a group I corticosteroid under the US classification, the most potent class of such drugs. Halobetasol propionate is usually supplied as a 0.05% topical cream.
Halobetasol is a topical (for the skin) steroid. It reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation.
Halobetasol topical is used to treat the inflammation and itching caused by a number of skin conditions such as allergic reactions, eczema, and psoriasis. Halobetasol topical may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide. |
Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Topical steroid medicine can be absorbed through the skin, which may cause steroid side effects throughout the body.
Do not cover treated skin areas with a bandage or other covering unless your doctor has told you to. If you are treating the diaper area of a baby, do not use plastic pants or tight-fitting diapers. Covering the skin that is treated with halobetasol topical can increase the amount of medicine your skin absorbs, which may lead to unwanted side effects. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Do not use this medication on a child without a doctor's advice. Children are more likely to absorb large amounts of a topical steroid through the skin. Steroid absorption in children may cause unwanted side effects, or a delay in growth with long-term use. Talk with your doctor if you think your child is not growing at a normal rate while using this medication over a long treatment period.
