Temovate (Clobetasol Propionate)

Temovate Information:

Temovate (Clobetasol Propionate) is a corticosteroid medication that helps reduce inflammation in the body. Temovate is commonly used to treat psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis, among other skin conditions that respond to steroid medication. Temovate controls inflammation by mimicking naturally occurring corticosteroid hormones produced by our adrenal glands, which are two small glands that sit on top of our kidneys. In addition to reducing inflammation (redness and swelling) in the area that they are applied, topical corticosteroids also suppress the immune response, reduce cell turnover, and constrict (narrow) blood vessels. Symptoms of skin conditions that may need corticosteroids include dry, flaky, thickened skin that is often itchy and sometimes painful. Your doctor will discuss the most effective treatment for your specific symptoms.
