Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Spectro Eczemacare (Clobetasone-butyrate).
Absorption: When Spectro Eczemacare (Clobetasone-butyrate) is used over extensive areas for prolonged periods and under dressings or diapers that don't breathe, it is possible that enough medication will absorb into the bloodstream to cause unwanted side effects.
Do not apply this cream to the groin area, genitals, under the arms, between the toes, or on the face or scalp unless recommended by your doctor. The skin covering these areas may permit the medication to be absorbed more easily.
Use Spectro Eczemacare (Clobetasone-butyrate) for no longer than 7 days and stop using it as soon as the problem clears. No more than 15 g of the cream should be used in one week. Do not use Spectro Eczemacare (Clobetasone-butyrate) under anything that doesn't breathe (e.g., dressings, plasters, gloves, cling film, diapers).
Eyes: As corticosteroids are known to cause Glaucoma and Cataracts, take care to ensure that Spectro Eczemacare (Clobetasone-butyrate) does not get in your eyes. If you accidentally get some of Spectro Eczemacare (Clobetasone-butyrate) in your eye, rinse your eye thoroughly with plenty of water.
Infection: Topical corticosteroids may increase the risk of developing a skin infection. Contact your doctor if you notice any increased redness, swelling, heat, or pain around the area where the medication is applied as these are possible signs of infection.
Do not apply this cream to broken or infected areas. This cream does not cure infections caused by bacteria, yeast, viruses, or fungi. Therefore, Spectro Eczemacare (Clobetasone-butyrate) will not help skin lesions such as Cold Sores and will not help herpes skin lesions, chicken pox, acne, rosacea, impetigo, ringworm, Athlete's Foot, or thrush.
Side effects: Although side effects associated with the use of Spectro Eczemacare (Clobetasone-butyrate) are uncommon and should not occur with ordinary use, rarely, people have experienced sensitization, irritation, and failure of the medication to work.
Skin conditions: If you have skin conditions associated with reduced circulation (blood flow) such as stasis dermatitis, discuss with your doctor how Spectro Eczemacare (Clobetasone-butyrate) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Spectro Eczemacare (Clobetasone-butyrate), and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Also, the safety and effectiveness of using Spectro Eczemacare (Clobetasone-butyrate) for psoriasis have not been established.
Thinning of skin: The use of topical corticosteroid medications for a long period of time can cause skin to thin or soften or cause stretch marks. Your doctor may recommend you stop using Spectro Eczemacare (Clobetasone-butyrate) once in a while or to apply to one area of the body at a time. If you notice changes to the skin where you are applying this cream, contact your doctor.
Pregnancy: Spectro Eczemacare (Clobetasone-butyrate) should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking Spectro Eczemacare (Clobetasone-butyrate), contact your doctor immediately.
