Clobetasone (INN[1]) is a corticosteroid used in dermatology, for treating such skin inflammation as seen in eczema, psoriasis and other forms of dermatitis, and ophthalmology. Topical clobetasone butyrate has shown minimal suppression of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis.[2]

It is available as clobetasone butyrate under the brand names Eumosone or Eumovate[3] both manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline.

Trimovate also contains oxytetracycline, an antibiotic, and nystatin, an antifungal.[4]
