HaloVate-S Ointment is applied topically.

HaloVate-S Ointment comprises two active ingredients:

• Halobetasol propionate (0.05%): This potent corticosteroid works by interacting with specific DNA sequences to modify gene transcription. The result is a reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators, reducing inflammation, itching, and redness in the affected skin.

• Salicylic acid (3%): This keratolytic agent softens and dissolves the intercellular cement holding the outer layer of skin cells together. Doing so promotes the shedding of scales and reduces the thickness of psoriatic plaques, thereby enhancing the penetration and effectiveness of clobetasol propionate.

• Keep HaloVate-S Ointment stored at room temperature below 25°C.

• The ointment should be kept away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• It's important to store it in a place that is out of children's reach.

• If you're using HaloVate-S Ointment to manage psoriasis, consuming a balanced diet rich in antioxidants could help. Foods like berries, beans, apples, and spinach can be beneficial.

• For dermatitis patients, avoiding potential allergens in your diet, such as dairy products or nuts, might help reduce inflammation. However, remember to consult your doctor before making any significant dietary changes.
