Frequently Asked Questions

Is Dermasol-S suitable for daily use long-term?
No — clobetasol scalp solution is a potent preparation; continuous daily use beyond 2 weeks risks HPA axis suppression and should be used intermittently as directed by a physician.

How is the scalp solution applied most effectively?
Part the hair to expose the affected area, apply a few drops directly to the scalp, and massage gently; do not apply to unaffected areas.
