Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Olux-E Work?
Olux-E works by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and suppressing the immune response in the skin. This action helps reduce inflammation, itching, and redness by acting on various inflammatory cells and mediators, leading to an overall decrease in the symptoms associated with skin conditions.
Common Dosages
- Foam: 0.05% clobetasol propionate.
Typical Dosing
- Adults: Apply a thin layer of Olux-E to the affected area(s) twice daily (morning and evening) for up to 2 weeks. After this period, a healthcare provider may recommend a reduced frequency of application or an alternative therapy based on the patient’s response.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications

Advice From The Pharmacist
- Apply Olux-E only to the affected areas of the skin, avoiding contact with the eyes and mucous membranes.
- Wash your hands before and after applying the foam to prevent the spread of infection.
- Do not use more than the prescribed amount, and avoid using occlusive dressings unless directed by a healthcare provider.
- If no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
