Effectiveness
How Temovate E Affects PatientsCorticosteroids, like Clobetasol propionate, help reduce inflammation by blocking certain signals in the body. Generally they are applied twice a day, so their effects last for a long time. The amount of corticosteroid needed to reduce inflammation can be much higher than what the body naturally produces, so it is important for people taking them to be aware of potential side effects like suppression of the hormone system and increased risk of infection.
How Temovate E works in the bodyCorticosteroids reduce inflammation by stopping white blood cells from travelling to the site of inflammation. They also work on gene expression, resulting in downstream effects over time. Glucocorticoids block the creation of certain chemicals that contribute to inflammation, as well as inhibit certain transcription factors. Lower doses reduce inflammation, while higher doses are immunosuppressive. Higher doses also attach to a receptor that increases sodium levels and decreases potassium levels in the body.
