CLOBETASOL 0.05% CREAM

What it is

CLOBETASOL 0.05% CREAM is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory lists it as “clobetasol propionate” and “clobetasol propionate cream usp, 0.05%”, as its NDCs’ listings variously write the nonproprietary name, under the trade name “Clobetasol Propionate Cream USP, 0.05% Clobetasol Propionate Cream USP, 0.05%”.

FDA gives its dosage form as cream and its route as topical.

FDA lists 9 labelers (the companies named on the label) for its NDCs, among them E. Fougera & Co. a division of Fougera Pharmaceuticals Inc., Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited and Encube Ethicals, Inc.

FDA’s Established Pharmacologic Class for it is Corticosteroid.

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under 34 NDCs (National Drug Codes).

NADAC classes it as a generic drug (rate-setting class G), and does not mark it as sold over the counter.

What to ask at the counter

None of these figures is your price: what you pay depends on your pharmacy, your insurance, coupons and discounts.

• What is your cash price for 1 g? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
• Which NDC (the 11-digit number on the package) is this? Pharmacies pay $0.12164 to $0.19302 per GM for this product, depending on the NDC.
• How much is in the package I am getting? This page uses 1 g; your package may hold a different amount.
• These are questions about price, not medical advice. Do not change or stop a medicine without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist.
