Working of Clobetasole Propionate & Salicylic Acid

The medication is a combination of two medicines known as Clobetasole and Salicylic Acid, that help to treat psoriasis and eczema. Clobetasole is known as a steroid. It helps in blocking the production of certain chemical messengers known as prostaglandins. This chemical substance is responsible for making the skin itchy, swollen, and red skin. On the other side, Salicylic Acid is known as keratolytic medicine. It works on increasing the absorption of Clobetasole and helps remove dead skin cells and break keratin clumps which leads to softening of the skin. Collectively, this medication helps treat scaly and dry conditions of the skin.
