Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Clobetasol is a very potent topical corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive effects. It promotes induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins (lipocortins) and subsequently inhibits the release of arachidonic acid, thereby depressing the formation, release, and activity of endogenous chemical mediators of inflammation (e.g. kinins, histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandins). Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Variable percutaneous absorption (dependent on dose, integrity of epidermis, vehicle used, and use of occlusive dressing). Metabolism: Metabolised in the liver. Excretion: Via urine and faeces.
