Benefits
In treatment of Eczema
Eczema is a skin condition where patches of skin become inflamed, itchy, red, cracked, and rough. Clob SL Cream helps in treating inflammation and itching in eczema. When used correctly it is a safe and effective treatment. Clob SL Cream reduces the redness, rash, pain or itchiness caused by your skin’s reaction to an irritant. This improves your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. You should always use the cream or ointment as prescribed and only apply the amount you have been told to. Keep using it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.
How it works
Clob SL Cream is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Salicylic Acid, which treats eczema and psoriasis. Clobetasol is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic medicine which breaks down keratin clumps, removes dead skin cells and softens the skin. It also enhances the absorption of Clobetasol into the skin.
How to use
