Clozip-S6
CLOZIP-S6 is a potent topical ointment that combines clobetasol propionate, a corticosteroid, with a higher concentration of salicylic acid (6%), which is a keratolytic agent. This combination is particularly effective for managing chronic, thick, and scaly inflammatory skin conditions such as severe psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and other related disorders.
- Recommended Usage
Indication
- Severe Psoriasis (especially with thick, scaly plaques)
- Seborrheic Dermatitis
- Chronic Eczema with scaling and thickened skin
- Lichen Planus
- Other inflammatory skin conditions requiring potent anti-inflammatory and keratolytic therapy
Dosage and Administration
Route of Administration: Topical application.
Typical dose for adults and children: Apply a thin layer to the affected area 1-2 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider.
Duration of treatment: Use for a short duration (usually not more than 2 consecutive weeks) unless directed by a healthcare provider to avoid potential side effects.
Application: Apply to affected areas in a thin layer, ensuring not to overuse the product.
Precautions
Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to clobetasol propionate, salicylic acid, or any excipients in the ointment.
Caution for sensitive skin areas: Use with caution on areas such as the face, groin, or armpits, where skin is thinner, unless specifically directed by a healthcare provider.
Do not apply to broken or infected skin unless prescribed by a healthcare provider.
Prolonged or excessive use of topical corticosteroids like clobetasol can lead to skin thinning, delayed wound healing, or systemic absorption.
Salicylic acid caution: The higher concentration of salicylic acid (6%) may increase the risk of skin irritation. Avoid use over large areas of the skin or for extended periods to reduce the risk of systemic absorption, especially in children or in patients with compromised skin.
Discontinue use if signs of irritation, excessive dryness, or allergic reactions occur.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to clobetasol propionate, salicylic acid, or any component of the ointment.
Active untreated infections (e.g., fungal, bacterial, or viral skin infections) unless directed by a healthcare provider.
Not suitable for use on open wounds, raw skin, or broken skin unless prescribed.
Salicylic acid contraindication: Avoid use in individuals with known salicylate sensitivity or toxicity.
Key Benefits
Dual Action: Combines the anti-inflammatory power of clobetasol propionate with the exfoliating and keratolytic effects of salicylic acid, effectively treating thickened, scaly skin lesions.
Higher Salicylic Acid Concentration: The 6% salicylic acid content makes it particularly effective for more severe, thick, or stubborn cases of psoriasis, dermatitis, and eczema.
Reduces Inflammation and Scaling: Clobetasol reduces inflammation, while salicylic acid softens and removes scales, promoting smoother skin and enhancing steroid absorption.
Improves Skin Texture and Appearance: Helps reduce the buildup of dead skin cells and plaques, promoting healthier skin texture.
Effective for Chronic Conditions: Ideal for managing long-term or severe skin conditions that require a stronger formulation to provide relief from inflammation and scaling.
