Olux Foam

People who have certain skin conditions, such as psoriasis, dermatitis, or eczema, may benefit from Olux® (clobetasol propionate foam). This prescription medicine works to relieve itching and inflammation associated with these skin problems by reducing inflammation and suppressing an overactive immune system.
 
The standard Olux dosage is to apply about a capful of the foam on the affected areas of the skin twice daily. Possible side effects may include a burning sensation and other skin reactions.
 
Before starting treatment, tell your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking. Also, make sure he or she knows if you have any allergies or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
