Clobetasol Propionate (Cat No.: A000270) is a highly potent topical corticosteroid used to treat inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis. It works by suppressing the immune response and reducing inflammation, redness, and itching. Due to its strength, it is typically prescribed for short-term use on small areas of the body. Prolonged or excessive application can lead to side effects like skin thinning or systemic absorption. Clobetasol is available in various formulations, including creams, ointments, gels, and scalp treatments.
