CLOBETASOL 0.05% OINTMENT

What it is

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

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

FDA lists 9 labelers (the companies named on the label) for its NDCs, among them Cosette Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Encube Ethicals, Inc. and Macleods Pharmaceuticals Limited.

FDA’s Established Pharmacologic Class for it is Corticosteroid.

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under 36 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 $0.10833 to $0.15332 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.
