Cortirate Cream 30gm

Cortirate Cream 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. Cortirate Cream can suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation.

Cortirate Cream 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, Cortirate Cream aids in treating skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus, and discoid lupus erythematosus.

Cortirate Cream is available on prescription only. Always use the right amount of cream/lotion as advised by the doctor or pharmacist.

After a few days of use, this will no longer occur. While applying, make sure it does not come in contact with the eye. If Cortirate Cream accidentally comes in contact with eyes, rinse with warm water thoroughly.
