Dosage and Administration
Route of Administration: Topical application.
Typical dose for adults and children: Apply a thin layer of CLOZIP-G to the affected area 1-2 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider.
Duration of treatment: Should not be used for prolonged periods (more than 2 consecutive weeks) unless under medical supervision to avoid potential side effects.

Precautions
Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to clobetasol propionate, gentamicin, zinc sulphate, or any other components of the cream.
Do not apply to large areas of the skin or for extended periods unless specifically directed by a healthcare provider, to avoid systemic absorption and potential side effects.
Use cautiously on areas with thin skin (e.g., face, groin, armpits).
Discontinue use if signs of irritation or allergic reactions occur.
Not for use on open wounds, untreated infections, or on large areas of the skin unless under strict medical supervision.
Prolonged use or use over extensive areas may lead to side effects such as skin thinning, adrenal suppression, or bacterial resistance.

Key Benefits
Combined Anti-Inflammatory and Antimicrobial Action: The combination of clobetasol and gentamicin provides both potent anti-inflammatory effects and bacterial infection control, making it ideal for infected inflammatory conditions.
Promotes Skin Healing: Zinc sulphate helps to promote wound healing, enhancing skin recovery from inflammatory or infected conditions.
Broad Spectrum: The gentamicin component targets bacterial infections commonly seen in inflammatory skin disorders, reducing the risk of infection complications.
Effective for Severe and Infected Conditions: Useful for treating severe inflammatory skin conditions that have developed or are complicated by secondary bacterial infections.
Convenient Treatment: A single product for both inflammation and infection management, reducing the need for multiple treatments.
