How Clopic-SL Ointment works:
Clopic-SL Ointment combines clobetasol propionate and salicylic acid to effectively manage eczema and psoriasis symptoms. Clobetasol, a corticosteroid, reduces inflammation by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins, thus alleviating redness, swelling, and itching. Salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, dissolves hardened skin, facilitating the removal of dead skin cells and improving skin texture. This keratolytic action also promotes the penetration of clobetasol into the affected skin layers.
