How Powercort-S 3% Ointment works:

Eczema and psoriasis are effectively managed by Powercort-S 3% Ointment, a four-component topical formulation. Its ingredients—clobetasol propionate (a corticosteroid), salicylic acid, lactic acid, and urea (keratolytics)—work synergistically. Clobetasol reduces inflammation by suppressing the production of prostaglandins, alleviating redness, swelling, and itching. The keratolytics, meanwhile, dissolve hardened skin cells, facilitating the removal of dead tissue and improving skin texture. This action also promotes better penetration of clobetasol into the affected area.
