Clovate 0.05% Lotion 50 ml

Clovate 0.05% Lotion belongs to a class of topical corticosteroid medications. It is used for the treatment of autoimmune skin disorders such as psoriasis (scaly, itchy, and red patches on the skin), lichen planus (purplish, itchy, and flat bumps on the wrists, forearms, or legs), discoid lupus erythematosus (red, coin-shaped scales or crusts on the scalp, cheeks, and ears), and eczema (red and itchy skin). Autoimmune skin disorders are conditions in which immune cells attack the body's healthy cells, causing inflammation. Clovate 0.05% Lotion can suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation.

Clovate 0.05% Lotion comprises Clobetasol Propionate, an active corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties on the skin. It reduces swelling, redness, and itching by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation. Thus, Clovate 0.05% Lotion aids in treating skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus, and discoid lupus erythematosus.
