Medicinal Benefits:
The skin gets inflamed when chemical mediators release chemicals into the skin that cause inflammation. It leads to rashes, swelling, and itching, which can be treated by Ocovate Cream. It targets the immune system and lowers the immune response, providing some time for the inflamed skin to heal.
Ocovate Cream comprises Clobetasol, an active corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties on the skin. It reduces swelling, redness, and itching by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation. Thus, Ocovate Cream aids in treating skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus, and discoid lupus erythematosus.
