Effectiveness

How Ultravate Affects PatientsCorticosteroids like ulobetasol reduce inflammation and are usually applied once or twice a day. Depending on the individual, they may need to take a higher dose than the body naturally produces. It's important to be aware that taking corticosteroids can suppress the body's natural hormone system and make it easier to get infections.

How Ultravate works in the bodyCorticosteroids reduce inflammation in the body by blocking certain molecules from forming. This stops the body's immune response, which helps to reduce swelling, pain, and other signs of inflammation. Small amounts of corticosteroids help with inflammation, while larger doses can help suppress the immune system. Over time, corticosteroids can also change the levels of certain chemicals in the body, like sodium and potassium.
