Boscort 0.025% Lotion

Boscort 0.025% Lotion belongs to a class of drugs called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce swelling and irritation on the skin. It helps to reduce itchiness and swelling of certain skin problems such as dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin), eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin) or psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches). The swelling of the skin occurs when an allergic reaction or skin irritation releases several substances in the skin that widens blood vessels and cause itching, redness, pain, and swelling in the irritated area.

Boscort 0.025% Lotion contains Beclometasone, a steroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any type of allergens, such chemicals are released normally.
