Mode of Action of Topisal 3% Lotion 30ml
How Does It Work?
- Topisal-3% lotion works by the combined action of its two components - clobetasol and salicylic acid.
- Clobetasol is a steroid that acts by blocking the synthesis of a chemical substance called prostaglandin that is responsible for itching, swelling, and redness.
- Salicylic acid improves the condition of swelling and redness in the skin and helps in shedding the hard skin or dead skin. It also improves the penetration of clobetasol into the skin.
