Halobetasol Warnings
This medication comes with important safety warnings that you should read carefully. If you have any questions or concerns, please consult your healthcare provider for guidance.
Altered Stress Hormone Levels: Prolonged use of topical steroids like halobetasol, especially on large skin areas or under tight bandages, can alter stress hormone levels. This risk increases with simultaneous use of multiple steroids, application on damaged skin, or in individuals with liver problems and young children.
Skin Reactions: Halobetasol may cause skin irritation such as dryness, itching, redness, bumps, stinging, burning, or rash. Long-term use or covering the treated area tightly can increase the likelihood of skin thinning, stretch marks, and spider veins. Inform your prescriber if you experience any persistent skin side effects.
Skin Infections: Discontinue use and contact your healthcare professional if you detect redness, warmth, tenderness, swelling, or pain on the treated skin, or if you experience fever or chills, as these could signify a skin infection that might need antibiotic treatment.
Vision Problems: Though uncommon, halobetasol may increase the risk of cataracts and glaucoma. Notify your healthcare provider if you have a history of vision problems or notice any changes in your eyesight while using this medication.
Flammability (Foam Version Only): The foam form of halobetasol is flammable. Keep it away from open flames and heat sources, including smoking. Store it in a cool, dry place and do not dispose of it in a fire, even if the canister appears empty.
