Product Introduction

Myclobe-SL Ointment is used to treat severe inflammatory skin conditions that are unresponsive to milder treatments. Clobetasol Propionate is a high-potency corticosteroid that reduces swelling, redness, and itching, while Salicylic Acid works by softening and breaking down thickened skin and scales, enhancing the absorption of the steroid.

This combination is particularly effective in psoriatic plaques, chronic eczema, lichenified lesions, and hyperkeratotic conditions.

How It Works

• Clobetasol Propionate (0.05%): A super-potent topical steroid that suppresses inflammation and immune response in the skin.

• Salicylic Acid (3%): A keratolytic agent that exfoliates the outer layer of skin, unclogs pores, and enhances penetration of the steroid.

Together, they treat both the inflammatory and hyperkeratotic (thickened skin) aspects of chronic dermatoses.
