General Information on Olux
Olux is specifically prescribed to treat specific scalp and skin conditions such as dermatitis, rashes, or psoriasis. The generic name of the drug is Clobetasol propionate, which is effective in reducing itching, redness, and swelling in the skin conditions mentioned above. The drug is a very strong corticosteroid intended for topical dermatological use. The medication is available in the form of a foam. Olux is intended for short term treatment of pruritic manifestations of the scalp and plaque type psoriasis of non-scalp regions excluding the intertriginous area (two areas that can touch or rub against each other) and face. You should buy Olux only on the recommendation of your doctor.
Side Effects
Since the medication is applied to your skin, the side effects are few or none in a majority of cases. However, the steroids get transferred into the bloodstream through the skin, and some patients may experience some side effects after using Olux. Some of the severe side effects that may be related to using this medication are tiredness, puffiness in the face, sleep problems, mood changes, and blurred vision. Some people may also experience less serious side effects such as dry or cracking skin, skin rash, swollen hair follicles, pimples, blisters, temporary hair loss, or a change in the color of treated skin. You should talk to your doctor if you experience any effects after using Olux as you may require immediate medical attention.
Olux Precautions
You should tell your doctor if you have any skin infection or are allergic to any medication. It is necessary that you ensure Olux is safe for you if your doctor has recommended it. Olux is a strong topical steroid medication which is absorbed through the skin. Thus, it is important that you inform your doctor if you have diabetes, as the drug can increase the glucose levels in your blood or urine, which is not good for a diabetic patient. Women who are breastfeeding should not use Olux without consulting their doctor. The medication is not intended for use in children below 10 years of age. Steroid absorption may cause harmful effects in children such as unwanted side effects and delayed growth due to long term use. Therefore, you should only buy Olux and use it as recommended by your doctor.
Olux Dosage
You should only use Olux as directed by your doctor. The steroids get absorbed in the skin, and if used in larger amounts (than prescribed), you may experience the typical side effects associated with steroid use. You should inform your doctor if you don’t see any improvement in your skin condition within two weeks after applying Olux on your skin.
Interactions
You should provide your doctor with a list of all medications you use, which includes prescribed medications, non-prescribed medicines, and herbal medicines. Inform your doctor if you are already using any oral corticosteroids (such as Prednisone) or other topical corticosteroids (such as Hydrocortisone). You should not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medications without consulting your doctor while you are using Olux.
