Benefits

In Eczema: Clonate calms the inflammation behind an eczema flare, quickly reducing the redness, itch and weeping so the skin can heal and the scratch-itch cycle is broken.

In Psoriasis: Clonate reduces the thickening, scaling and redness of psoriasis plaques and relieves the itch.
In Skin inflammation and itching: Clonate relieves itching and inflammation of the skin from insect bites, rashes and reactions, so the skin can settle.
In Skin infection: Clonate kills the bacteria infecting the skin, so the redness, swelling, pain and discharge settle and the skin heals.
In Infected wounds: Clonate clears infection from a cut, graze or wound so it can heal cleanly, and helps prevent infection in a wound at risk.
In Impetigo: Clonate clears the crusted, weeping sores of impetigo and stops them spreading to other areas or to other people.
In Boils: Clonate treats the bacterial infection in a boil or folliculitis, reducing the pain and swelling and helping it heal.

How to use

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How it works

CLOnate-F Cream is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Fusidic Acid, which treats skin infections. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Safety advice

AlcoholSAFE: No significant interaction with alcohol is expected.
PregnancyCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this in pregnancy.
Breast feedingCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this while breastfeeding.
DrivingSAFE: Not expected to affect your ability to drive.
KidneySAFE: No dose change is usually needed in kidney disease.

Warnings & precautions

Use it only on the area and for the number of days your doctor specified. Potent steroid creams thin the skin permanently when used for too long. Never use a potent steroid cream on the face, the groin or the underarms unless your doctor has specifically told you to — the skin there is thin and absorbs much more. Do not use it on an infection. A steroid on ringworm, impetigo or herpes makes the infection worse while hiding it. Do not use leftover cream on a new rash, and never pass it to someone else. Stop and see your doctor if the area becomes more painful, weepy or crusted. Use it for the short course prescribed, usually about a week. Prolonged use of a topical antibiotic breeds resistant bacteria. See a doctor if the area becomes more red, swollen, painful or spreads, or if you develop a fever — a spreading skin infection needs tablets. Clean the area gently before each application. Do not use it on large raw areas or burns unless your doctor has said to.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of CLOnate-F Cream, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can suppress the body's own steroid production when it is used for a long time over large areas, especially in children. It is unlikely from skin use. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Quick tips

CLOnate-F Cream helps treat inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis that are also infected by bacteria.
