💡 Quick Answer — What is Clostaf 0.05% Cream?
Clostaf 0.05% Cream contains clobetasol propionate 0.05% — a very-potent topical corticosteroid (US Class I / UK “very potent”) for recalcitrant eczema, lichen planus, lichen sclerosus, and severe inflammatory dermatoses. Apply a thin film once or twice daily on affected skin only, for a maximum of 2 weeks. Do not apply to the face, eyelids, groin, or skin folds. Most patients see improvement within 3–7 days; if no benefit at 2 weeks, stop and review.

What Clostaf 0.05% Cream is and how it works
Clostaf 0.05% Cream contains clobetasol propionate 0.05%. Clobetasol is a synthetic halogenated very-potent glucocorticoid. It binds the glucocorticoid receptor inside skin cells, suppressing inflammatory cytokine transcription, leukocyte migration, and capillary permeability. Onset of effect is within hours; clinical benefit visible in 3–7 days. Manufacturer: Universal NutriPharma (WHO-GMP certified).
Indicaties
- Recalcitrant atopic eczema (short rescue courses)
- Plaque psoriasis (limited area)
- Lichen planus and lichen sclerosus
- Discoid lupus erythematosus
- Hypertrophic scarring (specialist use)
Hoe aan te vragen
| Stap | Detail |
|---|---|
| Frequentie | Once or twice daily, thin layer, only on affected skin. |
| Body areas | Trunk, limbs, scalp. Avoid face, eyelids, groin, and skin folds without specialist guidance. |
| Maximum course | 2 weeks continuous use without medical review. |
| Maximum weekly amount | 50 g per week. |
| Tapering | Step down to a lower-potency steroid or alternate-day use after the active phase to avoid rebound flare. |
| Occlusion | Do not use airtight dressings unless specifically directed — occlusion can multiply absorption ~10-fold. |
⚠️ Topical steroid withdrawal & atrophy risk — Long courses of potent topical steroids cause skin atrophy, telangiectasia, striae, steroid-induced rosacea, and HPA-axis suppression. Tapering at end-of-course rather than abrupt stopping reduces rebound flare. Do not use Clostaf 0.05% Cream as a daily moisturiser or fairness cream.
Bijwerkingen
- Common (mild, often transient): burning, stinging, itching, dryness, mild redness at the application site.
- Minder vaak: folliculitis, skin thinning (atrophy), telangiectasia, striae, perioral dermatitis if used near the mouth.
- Zeldzaam maar ernstig: contact dermatitis to the steroid molecule, HPA-axis suppression with extensive prolonged use, glaucoma if used on eyelids.
Contra-indicaties
- Untreated bacterial, viral (herpes simplex/zoster), or fungal skin infection without concurrent antimicrobial cover.
- Acne vulgaris, perioral dermatitis, rosacea — potent steroids worsen these conditions.
- Known hypersensitivity to corticosteroids.
- Application near the eyes without ophthalmology supervision.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding & paediatric use
Use the lowest effective potency for the shortest duration. Avoid ultra-potent topical steroids on extensive areas during pregnancy. In breastfeeding mothers, do not apply to the breast or nipple before feeding. In children, prefer mild steroids (US Class VI–VII) on face and flexures; potent steroids are reserved for short courses under specialist supervision because of higher relative absorption from a larger body-surface ratio.
Opslag
Store below 25 °C in the original tube. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use after the printed expiry date.
Veelgestelde vragen
How quickly does Clostaf 0.05% Cream work?
Most patients see visible reduction in itch and redness within 3–7 days. If there is no improvement at 2 weeks, stop and review with a clinician — the diagnosis may be wrong (e.g. fungal infection, contact allergy to the vehicle).
Can I use Clostaf 0.05% Cream on my face?
Generally no, except under specialist guidance. The face has thin skin and is prone to atrophy, telangiectasia, perioral dermatitis, and steroid-induced rosacea with potent topical steroids. For facial inflammation, milder steroids (hydrocortisone 1%, clobetasone) or non-steroid options (tacrolimus, pimecrolimus) are safer.
Wat als ik een dosis vergeet?
Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one — do not double up. Catching up by applying more than prescribed increases absorption and side-effect risk.
Can I use Clostaf 0.05% Cream with moisturiser?
Yes, but space them by 10–15 minutes. Apply the steroid first to clean dry skin, then moisturise after absorption to lock in hydration. Heavy occlusive moisturisers immediately after the steroid can multiply absorption.
Will the inflammation come back when I stop?
Possibly. Chronic inflammatory conditions like eczema and psoriasis tend to relapse. Tapering — alternate-day or step-down to a milder steroid — and continuing maintenance moisturiser reduces rebound risk. Rebound is more likely after abrupt cessation of long potent-steroid courses.
Is Clostaf 0.05% Cream safe in pregnancy?
Limited topical use of a moderate-potency steroid is generally considered acceptable in pregnancy under medical supervision. Avoid ultra-potent steroids on extensive areas. Discuss with your prescriber if you are pregnant or trying to conceive.
Can I cover the area with a bandage or cling film?
No, unless your specialist explicitly tells you to. Occlusion increases absorption ~10-fold and pushes the steroid into the systemic circulation, raising the risk of HPA-axis suppression and skin atrophy.
How long can I use Clostaf 0.05% Cream for?
Continuous use should not exceed 2 weeks on any one body area without medical review. Long-term inflammatory conditions are typically managed by alternate-day, step-down, or weekend-only therapy under specialist guidance.
Why does the skin sometimes look thinner after a long course?
That is steroid-induced atrophy — visible thinning, telangiectasia (broken capillaries), and bruising. It results from suppressed collagen synthesis and is partially but not always fully reversible after stopping. The risk is higher with potent steroids, occlusion, and use on thin-skinned areas.
Is Clostaf 0.05% Cream the same as Temovate / Dermovate / Olux?
For clobetasol-based products (Topinate, Clostaf, Tenovate), yes — these are all clobetasol propionate 0.05% formulations differing only in brand and excipients. For halobetasol (Halovate), the closest US brand is Ultravate. For clobetasone (Eumosone), the equivalent is Eumovate. All share the same molecule and clinical profile.
