About Halovate Ointment

Halovate Ointment belongs to a class of drugs called 'corticosteroids' primarily used to treat skin condition like itching redness, irritation and inflammation caused due to plaque psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches) or any other inflammatory skin conditions.

Halovate Ointment contains Halobetasol that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally.
