OLUX-E SUMMARY
Olux-E (clobetasol propionate) Foam, an emulsion aerosol foam, contains the active ingredient clobetasol propionate, USP, a synthetic corticosteroid for topical dermatologic use. Clobetasol, an analog of prednisolone, has a high degree of glucocorticoid activity and a slight degree of mineralocorticoid activity.
Olux-E Foam is indicated for the treatment of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses in patients 12 years of age or older (see PRECAUTIONS). Treatment should be limited to 2 consecutive weeks and patients should not use greater than 50 grams per week (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
Patients should be instructed to use Olux-E Foam for the minimum amount of time necessary to achieve the desired results (see PRECAUTIONS).
Use in pediatric patients under 12 years of age is not recommended because of numerically high rates of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression seen in patients under 12 years of age (see PRECAUTIONS: Pediatric Use).
