POWERCORT shampoo contains clobetasol, a highly potent topical corticosteroid. When applied to the skin, it reduces inflammatory activity, suppresses the release of inflammatory mediators, and helps relieve itching, redness, and scaling.
Recommended for:
Clobetasol is classified among the most potent topical corticosteroids. Clinical studies of topical clobetasol formulations have demonstrated significant reductions in inflammation, erythema, itching, and other manifestations of steroid-responsive dermatoses. Clobetasol shampoos have specifically been studied for short-term treatment of scalp psoriasis, with clinical results supporting their effectiveness when used appropriately and for a limited duration.
Important: clobetasol does not eliminate the underlying cause of psoriasis or other chronic dermatoses; it controls inflammatory manifestations. Because of its high potency, prolonged or inappropriate use may increase the risk of local and systemic adverse effects.
POWERCORT shampoo is intended for short-term topical treatment of inflammatory scalp conditions that respond to potent corticosteroid therapy. Its primary use is to reduce the symptoms of scalp psoriasis.
Clobetasol suppresses inflammation, reduces small-vessel dilation, and decreases inflammatory cell activity. This helps reduce redness, itching, irritation, and scaling.
The shampoo is for external use. Apply a small amount to the affected areas of the scalp and gently distribute it. The product is generally left on the scalp for a short period according to the instructions for the specific formulation and then thoroughly rinsed off. Avoid contact with the face, eyes, mucous membranes, and damaged skin. Treatment should be limited to the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms because clobetasol is a highly potent topical corticosteroid.
