This medication comes with specific warnings, which are essential for safeguarding your health. Please review the following points carefully and consult your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns:

• Hormonal Changes: Excessive absorption of topical steroids like clobetasol can disrupt your body's hormone production, potentially elevating blood sugar levels or making your skin more prone to bruising. The risk increases with prolonged use or application over large skin areas. Your healthcare provider will prescribe the minimal effective dose for the shortest duration. Extended use may require lab tests to ensure your body's hormone production remains adequate. Avoid using clobetasol for more than two weeks (four weeks for shampoo) without your provider's direction. Risks include high-potency steroid use, excessive application, bandaging treated areas, and younger age.

• Increased Blood Sugar Levels: Long-term or extensive use of clobetasol may lead to elevated blood sugar, potentially causing diabetes. Individuals with diabetes may need to monitor their blood sugar regularly when using this medication. Risks are associated with prolonged use and excessive application.

• Skin Infections: Clobetasol can weaken your body's infection defenses, including those affecting the skin. It's crucial to use appropriate antifungal or antibacterial treatments for any skin infections while using clobetasol. Prolonged use heightens the risk of infection. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if you notice redness, pain, swelling, or pus at the application site.

• Skin Reactions: Extended use of clobetasol can lead to adverse skin reactions, such as thinning, stretch marks, spider veins, burning, itching, irritation, dryness, inflamed hair follicles, color changes, or rashes. Some effects may be permanent. To minimize these risks, your healthcare provider will prescribe the lowest effective dose for the shortest time. Report any new or worsening skin issues to your provider immediately. Risks include high-dose, prolonged use, and bandaging treated areas.

There are no known contraindications for this medication. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions closely to ensure safe and effective use.

When using Olux-E, a topical corticosteroid, it's important to be aware of potential interactions with other medications and health conditions. While Olux-E is applied to the skin and generally has minimal systemic absorption, certain factors can increase the risk of interactions:

• Concurrent Use of Other Corticosteroids: Using Olux-E alongside other corticosteroid-containing products, whether topical or systemic, can amplify the overall corticosteroid exposure. This heightened exposure may lead to systemic side effects such as adrenal suppression, Cushing's syndrome, or elevated blood sugar levels.

• Underlying Health Conditions: Individuals with certain medical conditions should exercise caution:

  • Diabetes: Corticosteroids can raise blood glucose levels. If you have diabetes, monitor your blood sugar closely while using Olux-E.
  • Skin Infections: Applying Olux-E to infected skin can worsen the infection. Ensure any skin infections are properly treated before using this medication.
  • Glaucoma and Cataracts: Prolonged use of topical corticosteroids near the eyes may increase the risk of developing glaucoma or cataracts. Avoid applying Olux-E to areas near the eyes and consult your healthcare provider if you have a history of these eye conditions.

• Use with Other Skin Products: Avoid using cosmetics or other skin care products on the treated area unless directed by your healthcare provider, as they may interfere with the effectiveness of Olux-E or increase the risk of side effects.

Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and health conditions before starting Olux-E to ensure safe and effective use.
