Inclusive of all taxesClonate Ointment 20 gm 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. Clonate Ointment 20 gm can suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation.
Clonate Ointment 20 gm comprises Clobetasol, an active corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties on the skin.
