Question over 4 years ago

Can I use Clostar S on my face?

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

Application of Clostar S on the face must be avoided but if it has been advised by your doctor then you can use it only for a short-term period not more than 5 days because the skin on your face thins easily.

Question about 5 years ago

How does Clostar S work?

Dr. Haleema Yezdani MBBS , General Physician

Clostar S 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 Clostar S prevents the skin inflammation which provides relief to the patient from rash, itching, and redness.

Question over 4 years ago

Can Clostar S be used for ringworm?

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

No, Clostar S 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 Clostar S is not an antifungal agent and it is not effective against fungi. Hence Clostar S should not be used for the treatment of ringworm. For the treatment of ringworm, you can use a combination of Clostar S and antifungal drugs such as miconazole and fluconazole.
