Overview

HOE Cloderm Shampoo contains Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% and is presented as a healthcare product. It is supplied in a pack size of 60ml.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

HOE Cloderm Shampoo should only be used according to the frequency and duration prescribed by your doctor following an online consultation with DoctorOnCall. It is typically applied to a wet scalp, massaged gently into the affected areas, left in place for the few minutes advised, and then rinsed thoroughly with water. Avoid contact with the eyes, and do not use it as a routine cosmetic shampoo or apply it more often or for longer than prescribed.

Dosage

The exact amount and frequency of HOE Cloderm Shampoo is determined individually by your prescribing doctor based on the severity of your scalp condition, and is usually limited to a short course of a few applications per week rather than daily use, with regular review to limit the total amount of steroid absorbed. Do not increase the frequency or continue use beyond the prescribed period without checking with your doctor first, as this raises the risk of skin thinning and other side effects.

Shelf Life

HOE Cloderm Shampoo is generally stable for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the bottle or carton before use, and discard the product once opened for the period advised on the label or by your pharmacist.

Storage Instructions

Store HOE Cloderm Shampoo at room temperature, below 30 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, and do not use it past its expiry date.

Relevant Information

As a super-potent topical corticosteroid, HOE Cloderm Shampoo is generally prescribed for the shortest effective duration to control flare-ups of scalp psoriasis or severe seborrheic dermatitis, often as part of a wider treatment plan that may include non-steroid maintenance therapy between courses. Long-term or excessive use of potent corticosteroids on the scalp can lead to skin thinning and, rarely, absorption into the bloodstream affecting the body’s natural steroid balance, so regular follow-up with your doctor is important to reassess the need for continued treatment.
