Halobetasol Coupon & Discounts

How do I use halobetasol?

Halobetasol is normally applied twice daily around the same time every day. Always wash your hands before and after applying halobetasol. Apply a thin layer of cream or ointment to the affected area. You should not cover the affected area with a bandage or other dressing unless your doctor has instructed you to do so. Because it is a potent steroid drug, halobetasol should not be used for more than two weeks at a time. If your symptoms do not improve after two weeks, tell your doctor.

What if I forget to apply a dose of halobetasol?

If you miss a dose of halobetasol, apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. It it’s almost time to apply your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue on your normal routine. Do not apply two consecutive doses or extra medication to try to compensate for a missed dose.

What happens if I overdose on halobetasol?

Since halobetasol is a topical medication, overdose is unlikely. Adverse effects that can result from long-term use include thin skin, easily bruising, changes in body fat distribution, acne, facial hair growth, infections and impotence. If someone has accidentally ingested halobetasol, call the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.

Before using halobetasol, tell your doctor if:

• You have a recurring infection or are currently experiencing any signs of an infection.

• You have sores or broken skin on the area where you will apply halobetasol.

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding.

• You are using or taking any other prescription or nonprescription drugs, especially on the affected area(s).

What are the possible side effects of using halobetasol?

Possible halobetasol drug side effects include itching, dryness, redness, stinging and irritation at the site of application. These side effects should subside after a short time. If these side effects are severe or don’t go away, tell your doctor or dermatologist. Serious but rare side effects you should report to your doctor as soon as possible include swollen hair follicles, excess hair growth, acne, stretch marks, worsening of symptoms and swelling.

How do I store halobetasol?
