How Uticort S Ointment works:

Uticort S Ointment combines clobetasol propionate and salicylic acid to effectively manage eczema and psoriasis symptoms. Clobetasol propionate, 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 (keratin), facilitating the removal of dead skin cells and improving skin texture. This keratolytic action also promotes better penetration of clobetasol propionate into the affected skin layers.

Should you forget a Uticort S Ointment application, apply it promptly. However, if your next scheduled application is imminent, omit the missed one and resume your usual dosing regimen. Avoid applying a double dose.
