Effects - How it works in the body
Clobex belongs to the group of a very active topical corticosteroid drug also known as Immunosuppressant medications, commonly used for the treatment and relieves of the symptoms of irritation, allergic reactions, and other types of skin problems as chronic psoriasis or plaque Psoriasis. Clobex works by stopping the action of certain cells in the body. Corticosteroids are medicines used for reducing inflammation. Inflammation of the skin happens due to irritation of the skin, and is caused by the release of various substances that are important in the immune system. These substances cause blood vessels to widen, resulting in the irritated area becoming red, swollen, itchy and painful. When Clobex is applied to the skin it works by acting inside the skin cells to decrease the release of these inflammatory substances. This reduces swelling, redness and itch. Clobetasol is a very potent corticosteroid that is applied to the skin to treat severe inflammatory skin disorders, such as eczema and psoriasis that have not responded to milder steroids. The active ingredient is formulated in a moisturizing base that provides a layer of oil on the surface of the skin, helping to prevent water from evaporating from the skin surface. This helps reduce the dryness, scaling and itching of skin conditions such as eczema.
