Clozip S Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Salicylic Acid. Clobetasol is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic medicine which breaks down keratin clumps, removes dead skin cells, and softens the skin. It also enhances the absorption of Clobetasol into the skin.
How should Clozip S Ointment be used?
Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional or on the product packaging. Apply a thin layer of the ointment to the affected skin areas, ensuring adequate coverage. The standard dosage for Clozip S Ointment is typically twice or thrice daily, depending on the specific instructions from your doctor.
Can I discontinue using Clozip S Ointment once my symptoms subside?
No, do not stop using Clozip S Ointment before completing the prescribed treatment course. It's crucial to finish all doses of medication as instructed by your healthcare professional. Symptoms may improve earlier than expected during treatment, but it doesn't necessarily signify complete disease resolution.
What precautions should be taken while using Clozip S Ointment?
Clozip S Ointment should not be applied to the face. Avoid using this medication for extended periods exceeding prescribed intervals. Do not cover the treated area with a bandage or dressing, as this can enhance absorption and increase the risk of adverse effects. This medicine should only be utilized by the intended patient and never shared with others, even in cases where they exhibit similar symptoms.
Will using more than prescribed dosages of Clozip S Ointment make it more effective?
No, increasing your dosage will not improve the effectiveness of Clozip S Ointment.

If you experience an increase in symptom severity, please consult your doctor for a reevaluation of your condition.
