Name: Cormax Cream
Contraindications
Cormax Cream (Clobetasol Propionate Cream, USP) is contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to clobetasol propionate, to other corticosteroids, or to any ingredient in this preparation.
Adverse Reactions
Cormax Cream (Clobetasol Propionate Cream, USP) is generally well tolerated when used for two-week treatment periods.
The most frequent adverse reactions reported for clobetasol propionate cream have been local and have included burning sensation and stinging sensation in approximately 1% of the patients. Less frequent adverse reactions were itching, skin atrophy, and cracking and fissuring of the skin.
The following local adverse reactions are reported infrequently when topical corticosteroids are used as recommended. These reactions are listed in an approximately decreasing order of occurrence: burning, itching, irritation, dryness, folliculitis, hypertrichosis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, maceration of the skin, secondary infection, skin atrophy, striae, and miliaria. Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids has produced reversible HPA axis suppression, manifestations of Cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria in some patients. In rare instances, treatment (or withdrawal of treatment) of psoriasis with corticosteroids is thought to have exacerbated the disease or provoked the pustular form of the disease, so careful patient supervision is recommended.
