  • Title: Unrecognised Cushing's syndrome and adrenal suppression due to topical clobetasol propionate.
    Author: Young CA, Williams IR, MacFarlane IA.
    Journal: Br J Clin Pract; 1991; 45(1):61-2. PubMed ID: 1931550.
    Abstract:
    A 53-year-old man with cushingoid appearance--obesity, osteoporosis causing lumbar and thoracic vertebral collapse and a past history of hypertension and depression presented with symptoms and signs of adrenocortical insufficiency. He denied the use of corticosteroid medication. However, it was eventually discovered that he had used clobetasol propionate (Dermovate), a potent topical steroid cream, for five years. The development of adrenal insufficiency symptoms coincided with the withdrawal of the cream.
