Cautions with other medicines
It's very unlikely that other medicines will affect the way clobetasone works. This applies to prescription medicines as well as the ones you buy from a pharmacy or shop.
However, tell your pharmacist or doctor if you're taking:
- ritonavir (for HIV infection)
- itraconazole (for a fungal infection)
These medicines can increase the chances of side effects in the rest of your body.
Mixing clobetasone with herbal remedies and supplementsThere's not enough information to say whether complementary medicines, herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with clobetasone. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.
