How to use
Clean and dry the affected area. Apply a thin layer of Clobetasol to the affected skin, rubbing it in gently. Wash your hands after applying. Follow the prescribed dosage and frequency of use. Avoid applying to sensitive areas and contact with eyes. Do not cover tightly unless instructed. Regularly follow up with your healthcare provider.
How It works
Clobetasol works by reducing inflammation, itching, redness, and swelling associated with various skin conditions. It belongs to a class of medications called corticosteroids, which have potent anti-inflammatory properties. When applied to the skin, Clobetasol is absorbed and binds to glucocorticoid receptors within the skin cells. This binding process triggers a series of biochemical reactions that regulate the production of inflammatory substances and suppress the immune response in the affected area.
