What is Halobetasol Propionate?
Halobetasol Propionate is a prescription topical steroid that relieves itching, swelling, and redness due to eczema, psoriasis, or allergies. Inflammation-reducing steroids, called corticosteroids, work in three ways to reduce swelling. First, they prevent the body from producing chemicals that cause swelling. Second, they also block the immune response to irritation. Finally, corticosteroids like Halobetasol Propionate constrict the small blood vessels, resulting in less blood flow to the swollen area. The cumulative effect is to reduce swelling and, as a result, the pain, itching, redness, and general discomfort of steroid-responsive skin conditions.
Halobetasol Propionate comes as a cream or ointment and is applied directly to the affected area.
What are the side effects of Halobetasol Propionate?
Most side effects of Halobetasol Propionate occur on the skin where it has been applied and includes burning, itching, numbness, tingling, unwanted hair growth, pimples, loss of skin color, stretch marks, blisters, crusting, and peeling. Topical steroids can be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream, so system-wide side effects may occur, such as blurred vision, swelling, weight gain, muscle weakness, nausea, diarrhea, menstrual changes, unwanted hair growth, and high blood sugar. Halobetasol Propionate, when absorbed into the body, can also cause irritability and mood changes. Allergic reactions are rare, but you should discontinue Halobetasol Propionate if you notice a rash, hives, swelling, or any other sign of an allergic reaction.
