When clobetasol 17 - propionate is used over extensive areas for prolonged periods or under dressings that don't breathe, it is possible that enough medication will absorb into the bloodstream to cause unwanted side effects. Therefore, it is advisable to use clobetasol 17 - propionate only for brief periods and to stop using it as soon as the problem clears.

Clobex (Clobetasol-propionate) should not be used under dressings that don't breathe.
