Terapijske indikacije:

Clobetasol propionate ointment is a super-high potency corticosteroid formulation indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses. 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. Use in pediatric patients under 12 years of age is not recommended. As with other highly active corticosteroids, therapy should be discontinued when control has been achieved. If no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, reassessment of the diagnosis may be necessary. Clobetasol propionate ointment is contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparation.

DESCRIPTION
Clobetasol propionate ointment contains the active compound clobetasol
propionate, a synthetic
corticosteroid, for topical dermatologic use. Clobetasol, an analog of
prednisolone, has a high degree
of glucocorticoid activity and a slight degree of mineralocorticoid
activity.
Clobetasol propionate is a white to cream-colored crystalline powder
insoluble in water. Chemically, it
is
21-chloro-9-fluoro-11β,17-dihydroxy-16β-methylpregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione
17-propionate, and it
has the following structural formula:

H CLFO MOLECULAR WEIG HT: 4 67
Each gram of the 0.05% ointment contains clobetasol propionate 0.5 mg
in a base of propylene glycol,
sorbitan sesquioleate, and white petrolatum.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Like other topical corticosteroids, clobetasol propionate has
anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and
vasoconstrictive properties. The mechanism of the anti-inflammatory
activity of the topical steroids, in
general, is unclear. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by
the induction of phospholipase A
inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. It is postulated
that these proteins control the
biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as
prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting
the release of their common precursor, arachidonic acid. Arachidonic
acid is released from membrane
phospholipids by phospholipase A .
PHARMACOKINETICS
The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is
determined by many factors,
including the vehicle and the integrity of the epidermal barrier.

hydrocortisone for up to 24 hours has not been demonstrated to
increase penetration; however,
occlusion of hydrocortisone for 96 hours markedly enhances
penetration. Topical corticosteroids can
be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inf
