Side Effects for Olux (clobetasol propionate)
After 3 weeks, I had a lot of stomach burning and pain.
It does help scalp psoriasis, but I will have to use it on an on/off basis.
This helped my scalp psoriasis, BUT since it is a steroid, I had some problems. I started feeling sick after using it approximately 4 weeks. Severe stomach problems. Nervousness. Overall feeling of poor health. I had to stop using this product. It's a very high powered steroid.
This is the first treatment for scalp psoriasis which has actually worked for me, and I've had the condition for over 50 years. Easy to apply, and it doesn't make your hair greasy. I hope there are no long-term side effects!
OLUX (CLOBETASOL PROPIONATE): Clobetasol is used to treat certain scalp and skin conditions (e.g., psoriasis, dermatitis, rash). Clobetasol reduces the swelling, itching and redness that can occur in these types of conditions. This medication is a very strong (super-high-potency) corticosteroid.

This was my on again, off again antihistamine. I took it because I lack health insurance and my allergies are pretty bad at times. This medicine sometimes relieves my allergies by a good margin, but I sometimes experienced irritablity and loss of appetite. You cannot fathom how angry I was when I took one to relieve my allergies and not only did it do NOTHING in stopping my allergies, but it killed my appetite - right before I was going to eat at a Japanese Tepon! I stopped the drug after that. I'd rather eat.
Whte discharge like wet toilet paper thru urine.
I have been on this for nearly 4 years and never had any issues with the pill until my most recent pack that I'm on now. I have 3 pills left until the placebos and I have been throwing up every day and night, with general queasiness. I really like them and I think maybe they just changed the formula? But I am really tired of throwing up and not having any appetite.
On my 5th day. Did take some of my pain away but side affects are not worth it. Heart beats extremely hard. Shakey. Feeling out of body. But the worse is made me have hair trigger temper. Super moody. These are crazy pills. Do not recommend at all.
Don't use unless really needed.
Sexual side effects. Cannot orgasm. Teeth clenching.
After 6 weeks of taking this medication I noticed that everything I ate and drank tasted odd. I contacted my doctor and stopped taking Lamisil immediately upon discovering that loss of taste or taste disturbance was a side effect of this drug. I contacted Novartis customer service department who refused to discuss my concerns saying it was against their code of practice! They agreed to write to my doctor to give him what information they had about this side effect (and then had the nerve to ask if he would pass on my medical history so they could put me into the database! I refused). So I have been told it should take about 6 weeks for my taste to recover. But 6 weeks has been and gone and I still have major taste disturbance. It has gone from a mouthful of sea water to a mouthful of soapy water! Nice!! To make matters worse I am an insulin dependent diabetic and have consequently had several hypos on account of not being able to eat properly. I am thoroughly depressed about
while my depression improved a bit, as well as my libido, it wasn't worth the tradeoff of SEVERE anger. i felt the exact same rage when i was on Wellbutrin -- both drugs inhibit the reuptake of norepinephrine -- which is the cause of the anger side effect.

celebrex never really got rid of pain even though every doctor seemed to pass it out like candy! all of the stomach pain and other severe issues have stopped once I gave up the Celebrex.My 8o yo mother however took it for ten years although I tried to get her to stop. Has been told she now has type three kidney failure. What a thing to deal with in old age after leading a clean life! Her kidney doc took her off of the celebrex immediately. One more thing...read the pamphlet! Most of these drugs are not meant to be prescribed long term and will damaged other organs. Examine all your options.
