Beltapro (0.05%) 20ml Lotion

Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% is a topical steroid that is super potent, several times stronger than hydrocortisone, and is commonly used to relieve skin conditions that are characterized by inflammation, itching, and redness. When Clobetasol Propionate is applied topically, it binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the skin cells, this action inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines which are known to contribute to the signs and symptoms of allergic reactions and inflammation such as swelling, redness, and itching. The active ingredient also stimulates collagen production, which strengthens the skin structure and minimizes cracking and fissuring. While it is a powerful treatment option, it is important to use Clobetasol Propionate with caution due to the potential for systemic absorption and associated side effects, such as skin thinning, topical allergy, and suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. For these reasons, it is often recommended for short-term use only and under the supervision of a medical professional. As with any medication or supplement, it is not intended to substitute for professional medical advice or used to make a diagnosis. If you experience any skin concerns, consulting with a healthcare provider is always best to ensure you receive appropriate treatment options that are tailored to you.
