Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate day supply for clobetasol?
Divide the grams dispensed by the grams used per day. A 60 gram tube applied at two grams twice daily is four grams a day, which is a 15 day supply.
Is there a maximum weekly amount for clobetasol?
Labeling limits most adults to 50 grams per week. If the days supply implies more than that, verify the sig with the prescriber.
