Powercort S 6% Lotion 30ml is applied topically.

Powercort S 6% Lotion 30ml contains two active ingredients:

• Clobetasol Propionate (0.05%): This super-high potency corticosteroid works by inducing proteins called lipocortins which control the production of inflammation mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This action helps reduce swelling, redness and itching on the skin.

• Salicylic Acid (6%): Classified as a keratolytic agent, salicylic acid works by softening and loosening dry, scaly skin, allowing it to peel off more easily. It also possesses anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties which aid in treating inflamed skin conditions.

• Store Powercort S 6% Lotion 30ml at regular room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 30°C.

• Avoid direct exposure to light and moisture.

• Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

• Place it out of reach of children to ensure their safety.

• Use the lotion before its expiry date for maximum effectiveness.

• If you're managing conditions like psoriasis or eczema with Powercort S 6% Lotion 30ml, consider including foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish and walnuts, in your diet. These can help reduce inflammation.

• Regular gentle exercise can improve your overall health and wellbeing, which may help your skin's condition. However, avoid activities that cause excessive sweating as this may irritate your skin further. Always remember to apply the lotion as directed after showering or bathing.
