While corticosteroids can be prescribed to ease the itching associated with poison ivy,
http://www.drugs.com/enc/poison-ivy-itchiness.html, Clobex (clobetasol) is considered "a super-high potent topical corticosteroid formulation" usually reserved for the treatment of dermatitis and psoriasis.

While Clobex can be used in severe cases of poison ivy, your doctor will be able to recommend the most suitable treatment.
