Clobetasol inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators in the skin, leading to a reduction in inflammation and itching associated with various dermatoses.

Pharmacological Properties:

Clobetasol is a high-potency corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic properties. It exerts its effects by suppressing the immune response in the skin.

Clobescin ointment has demonstrated superior efficacy in managing psoriasis and eczema compared to other corticosteroids. Its high potency allows for effective symptom relief with minimal application.
