Treats moderate to severe inflammatory and pruritic skin conditions including plaque psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, eczema, contact dermatitis, and allergic skin reactions that respond to corticosteroids.

As a topical corticosteroid, it works by binding to glucocorticoid receptors in skin cells, inhibiting inflammatory pathways and reducing the production of inflammatory chemicals, thereby decreasing inflammation, itching, and redness.

This is a high-potency corticosteroid and should not be used on the face, groin, or armpits unless directed by a physician. Avoid prolonged use, occlusive dressings over large areas, and use with caution in children. Discontinue if irritation or systemic absorption occurs. For external use only on intact skin.
