Cobeta-MF Ointment is a combination medicine used to treat psoriasis and eczema. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder in which skin cells multiply faster than usual, leading to a build-up of skin into bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales. Eczema is generally known as skin inflammation which causes patches of itchy, inflamed, swollen, and cracked skin.
Cobeta-MF Ointment contains Clobetasol, Lactic acid, Salicylic acid, Sodium lactate, and Urea. Clobetasol works by inhibiting the release of chemical messengers that cause inflammation and redness. Salicylic Acid and urea help soften the skin by removing the dead skin cells and breaking down the keratin lumps. Lactic acid and sodium lactate prevent the skin from becoming dry and flaky by replenishing the moisture. Together, Cobeta-MF Ointment helps in treating psoriasis and eczema.
You are advised to use Cobeta-MF Ointment for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as itching, irritation, and redness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Avoid using Cobeta-MF Ointment on infected or broken skin. Do not use Cobeta-MF Ointment if you had a skin reaction or irritation to any steroid medicine. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use Cobeta-MF Ointment in more than prescribed doses or on a large skin area for a longer duration, as it may cause adverse effects. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with a bandage unless advised by your doctor. Cobeta-MF Ointment is not recommended for children.
