CLOBETASOL+SALICYLIC ACID+ZINC OXIDE

CLOBETASOL+SALICYLIC ACID+ZINC OXIDE is a dermatological medication, primarily used to treat eczema and psoriasis. Eczema is a skin condition associated with inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches. Psoriasis is a skin disease in which skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales.

CLOBETASOL+SALICYLIC ACID+ZINC OXIDE is composed of three medicines: Clobetasol (corticosteroid), Salicylic acid (peeling agent), and Zinc oxide (antiseptic and astringent). Clobetasol is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic medicine (softens, separates, and causes desquamation (peeling) of the cornified epithelium or horny layer of skin). It increases the amount of moisture in the skin and dissolves the substance that causes the skin cells to stick together. Zinc oxide is a mild antiseptic and astringent (cleanses skin and tightens pores). It works by forming a barrier on the skin to protect it from moisture and irritants. 

Your doctor will advise the appropriate use of CLOBETASOL+SALICYLIC ACID+ZINC OXIDE that suits your infection. Common side effects of CLOBETASOL+SALICYLIC ACID+ZINC OXIDE include itching, dryness, and burning sensation at the application site. These side effects are temporary and gradually resolve over time. If the side effects are persistent, please consult your doctor.

Please do not cover the affected areas with dressing or bandage since it increases the side effects. CLOBETASOL+SALICYLIC ACID+ZINC OXIDE is not recommended for use in diaper rash.

Treatment of Eczema and psoriasis

CLOBETASOL+SALICYLIC ACID+ZINC OXIDE treats skin infections, such as eczema, psoriasis. It consists of Clobetasol, Salicylic acid, and Zinc oxide. Clobetasol is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. It treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema and psoriasis. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic medicine (softens, separates, and causes desquamation (peeling) of the cornified epithelium or horny layer of skin). It increases the amount of moisture in the skin and dissolves the substance that causes the skin cells to stick together. Salicylic acid breaks down the clumps of keratin, removes dead skin cells, and softens the skin. It is also an anti-inflammatory agent and topical antibacterial. Zinc oxide is a mild antiseptic and astringent (cleanses skin and tightens pores). It is a mineral that treats minor burns, severely chapped skin, and other minor skin irritations. When applied to the skin, it forms a barrier to protect it from moisture and irritants. Thus, it acts as a protective coating for mild skin irritations and abrasions. CLOBETASOL+SALICYLIC ACID+ZINC OXIDE removes the scaling and reduces the redness and itchiness due to skin infections.

Apply a thin layer with clean and dry hands on the skin's affected areas. You can also apply it with a piece of clean cotton wool or a gauze swab. Gently rub the medicine into the skin. Wash your hands before and after applying CLOBETASOL+SALICYLIC ACID+ZINC OXIDE on the affected areas unless the treatment is for hands. CLOBETASOL+SALICYLIC ACID+ZINC OXIDE is for topical (for skin use) only. If it gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse with cold water.
