How Powercort-S 6% Ointment works:

Eczema and psoriasis are effectively managed by Powercort-S 6% Ointment, a quadruple-action formulation. Its components—the corticosteroid clobetasol, and the keratolytics salicylic acid, lactic acid, and urea—work synergistically. Clobetasol reduces inflammation by suppressing prostaglandin production, thereby alleviating redness, swelling, and itching. Simultaneously, the keratolytic agents dissolve hardened keratin, exfoliate dead skin cells, and improve skin texture, facilitating clobetasol's penetration for optimal efficacy.
