Effectiveness

How Clobetasol Propionate Affects PatientsCorticosteroids, such as clobetasol propionate, can reduce inflammation and are usually applied twice daily for a long-lasting effect. Generally, patients need to take much higher doses than the body naturally produces. It is important to talk to a doctor about the potential risks associated with taking corticosteroids, such as suppressing the body's natural hormones and being more susceptible to infections.
How Clobetasol Propionate works in the bodyCorticosteroids reduce swelling and fluid buildup in the body, as well as the number of white blood cells that travel to sites of inflammation. They do this by changing how genes are expressed in the body. Corticosteroids also stop the body from breaking down fats, and decrease the activity of molecules that cause inflammation. Low doses of corticosteroids are used to reduce inflammation, while higher doses reduce the strength of your immune system. High doses can also raise your sodium levels and lower your potassium levels.
