Description
What is Eumovate?
Eumovate Cream is a topical medication containing clobetasone butyrate 0.05%, a mild to moderately potent corticosteroid. It is used to relieve symptoms of inflammatory skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. These conditions often result in red, swollen, and itchy patches on the skin, causing discomfort.
How Does Eumovate Cream Work?
Skin becomes inflamed when the body releases inflammatory chemicals in response to an allergen or irritation. These chemicals make blood vessels widen, causing the skin or scalp to swell. Clobetasone butyrate in Eumovate reduces inflammation by suppressing the body’s overactive immune response in the affected area. This action decreases symptoms like redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort, helping the skin return to its normal state. By reducing the skin's inflammatory response, Eumovate provides relief during flare-ups, aiding the skin's healing process while preventing further irritation.
