Cloderm Drug Center
Medical Editor: John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Cloderm Cream, 0.1% (clocortolone pivalate) topical is used to treat the inflammation and itching caused by a number of skin conditions such as allergic reactions, eczema, and psoriasis. It is a topical (for the skin) corticosteroid. Common side effects include stinging, burning, itching, irritation, dryness, or redness at the application site when this medication is first applied to the skin. These effects should disappear in a few days as your body adjusts to the medication.
Apply Cloderm Cream 0.1% sparingly to the affected areas three times a day and rub in gently. It is not likely that other drugs you take orally or inject will have an effect on topically applied Cloderm Cream topical. But many drugs can interact with each other. Tell your doctor about all your prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor. During pregnancy, Cloderm should be used only when prescribed. It is not known whether this drug passes into breast milk when applied to the skin. Similar medications pass into breast milk when taken by mouth. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Our Cloderm Cream, 0.1% (clocortolone pivalate) Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information as well as related drugs, user reviews, supplements, and diseases and conditions articles.
