Clobetasol-Zinc Cream 0.05%-2.5% 15g Uses

Clobetasol-Zinc Cream is prescribed to:

  • Treat severe inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis.
  • Provide a protective barrier to the skin, which helps prevent further irritation or infection.
  • Enhance skin healing and prevent moisture loss, particularly in areas prone to frequent exposure or friction.

How Clobetasol-Zinc Cream 0.05%-2.5% 15g Works

  • Clobetasol acts by reducing the release of inflammation-causing chemicals in the skin, thereby decreasing redness, swelling, and itching.
  • Zinc serves as a skin protectant, offering a barrier against moisture loss and providing a mild antiseptic environment, which is conducive to healing and prevents bacterial growth.
