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.

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. Occlusive
dressing with hydrocortisone for up to 24 hours has not been
demonstrated to increase
penetration; however, occlusion of hydrocortisone for 96 hours
markedly enhances
