Clobevate Ointment 20g contains Clobetasol Propionate, a high-potency topical corticosteroid. It works by reducing inflammation and excessive immune activity in the skin, helping relieve symptoms such as redness, itching, swelling, and irritation.

The ointment formulation is particularly useful for dry, scaly, or thickened inflammatory skin conditions because its oily base helps retain moisture. Clobevate may be prescribed for conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Because clobetasol is a very potent steroid, it should be used only as directed by a healthcare professional.
