IMPORTANT PATIENT SAFETY INFORMATION
- CLODERM Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes.
- Do not bandage or wrap the treated area unless directed by your healthcare provider.
- Pediatric patients: if using CLODERM Cream in the diaper area of a young child, please contact your healthcare provider before putting a tight-fitting diaper or plastic pants on the child as this may act like a bandage or wrap.

Children may absorb proportionally larger amounts of topical corticosteroids and may be more susceptible to side effects. As with all topical corticosteroids, too much CLODERM Cream passing through your skin can cause your adrenal glands to stop working. Your healthcare provider may do blood tests to check for adrenal gland problems.
The most common side effects of CLODERM Cream include burning, itching, irritation, dryness, inflamed hair follicles (folliculitis), excessive hair growth, acne-like eruptions, and thinning of the skin with prolonged use.
These are not all the possible side effects of CLODERM Cream. For more information, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
