How Metrosalic Ointment works:

Metrosalic Ointment combines clobetasol propionate, a corticosteroid, with salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, to effectively manage eczema and psoriasis symptoms. Clobetasol's anti-inflammatory action suppresses the release of inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins, reducing redness, swelling, and itching. Salicylic acid dissolves excess keratin, facilitating the removal of dead skin cells, thereby softening the skin and improving clobetasol penetration.
