How COSvate Cream Works
Clobetasol is a very potent topical corticosteroid. It reduces the activity of inflammatory substances in the skin, helping decrease inflammation, redness, swelling, and itching.
Because Clobetasol is highly potent, it should be used for the shortest duration and on the smallest area necessary, as directed by your doctor.
