Cortirate Cream 30gm
About Cortirate Cream 30gm
Cortirate Cream 30gm belongs to a class of topical corticosteroid medications. It is used for the treatment of autoimmune skin disorders such as psoriasis (scaly, itchy, and red patches on the skin), lichen planus (purplish, itchy, and flat bumps on the wrists, forearms, or legs), discoid lupus erythematosus (red, coin-shaped scales or crusts on the scalp, cheeks, and ears), and eczema (red and itchy skin). Autoimmune skin disorders are conditions in which immune cells attack the body's healthy cells, causing inflammation. Cortirate Cream 30gm can suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation.
Cortirate Cream 30gm comprises Clobetasol Propionate, an active corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties on the skin. It reduces swelling, redness, and itching by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation. Thus, Cortirate Cream 30gm aids in treating skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus, and discoid lupus erythematosus.
