Description

Temovate Scalp Solution is a medical “shampoo” containing 0.05% clobetasol propionate, a highly potent steroid. We carry the brand choice of this medication!

Temovate Scalp Solution is used to treat certain types of scalp and skin conditions. These types of skin conditions include psoriasis, dermatitis, and rash, which are commonly known conditions of the knees, elbows and arms, but they can also occur on a person’s scalp (head). Many of you have probably heard of dandruff, or may even know someone with it, or maybe you have had it at some point in your life; dandruff is a common sign that the scalp is dry or sheds more than normal. Within conditions like psoriasis and dermatitis, dry skin is a common symptom. Other symptoms of a scalp condition include itchiness, and flaky scaly patches.

Temovate Scalp Solution (clobetasol propionate) is effective at treating skin conditions of the scalp because steroids can block the chemical reactions in the body that create inflammation. They do this by interfering with the DNA inside the cells to create a type of protein, which is what blocks the reaction (inflammation).

Your doctor will tell you before prescribing you Temovate Scalp Solution (clobetasol propionate) exactly how to take this medication. Follow his or her directions very carefully, they can usually be found on the prescription label if you forget. Do not take this medication for longer than prescribed, or in smaller or larger amounts. Do not suddenly stop taking this medication.

Use this medication twice a day; wash your hands with water and soap before and after applying this medicine. Use only a small amount and gently lather it into your scalp. Avoid using more than 50ml of the medication in a 7 day period.
