What Is Eumovate Ointment?

Eumovate ointment is a moderate-strength steroid that relieves inflamed skin and itching caused by eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and insect bites. It is a preventative measure in some circumstances that stops eczema flare-ups. Eumovate ointment is classified as a topical corticosteroid. The medicine effectively reduces redness, itching, and swelling on crusty skin. Eumovate is also available as a lotion and cream. The treatment is used for areas of dry, flakey or scaly skin. It clears skin irritation within seven days.��

Description

How Does Eumovate Ointment Work?

Skin inflammation happens when the body releases chemicals in response to an allergen or irritation. These chemicals make blood vessels widen, causing the skin or scalp to swell and become painful. Eumovate ointment contains the active ingredient clobetasone butyrate. It works by mimicking the body's natural hormones produced by the adrenal glands. The steroids suppress inflammation by suppressing the cell's reaction to irritation or allergens and reducing the number of chemicals produced.
