Using clobetasol with other medicines and herbal supplements - Brand names: Dermovate, ClobaDerm, Etrivex

Cautions with other medicines

Most medicines do not affect the way clobetasol works, but tell a pharmacist or doctor if you're taking:

  • ritonavir (for HIV infection)
  • itraconazole (for a fungal infection)

These medicines can increase the levels of clobetasol in your body and increase the chances of side effects.

Mixing clobetasol with herbal remedies and supplements

There's not enough information to say whether complementary medicines, herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with clobetasol. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.

Important: Medicine safety

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
