Frequently asked Questions about Clobelac

Question over 5 years ago

How does Clobelac work?

Dr. Haleema Yezdani MBBS , General Physician

Clobelac contains clobetasol which is presumed to work by promoting the induction of inhibitory proteins (lipocortins) in the body. Lipocortins prevents the release of arachidonic acid which causes synthesis and release of certain chemicals such as histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins that causes inflammation. In this way Clobelac prevents the skin inflammation which provides relief to the patient from rash, itching, and redness.

Question over 4 years ago

Can Clobelac be used for ringworm?

Dr. B. K. Agrawal MBBS, MD , Cardiology, General Physician, Internal Medicine

No, Clobelac alone should not be used for ringworm because it is a fungal infection of the skin caused by fungi such as Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum and Clobelac is not an antifungal agent and it is not effective against fungi. Hence Clobelac should not be used for the treatment of ringworm. For the treatment of ringworm, you can use a combination of Clobelac and antifungal drugs such as miconazole and fluconazole.
