Clobevate (Clobetasol Propionate) Gel is a topical gel used for the treatment of inflammation and itching caused by skin conditions such as allergic reactions, eczema, psoriasis and rash. Clobetasol belongs to the class of drugs called steroids. This medication works by getting the body to stop its extreme immune response. When the immune system’s reaction calms down, cell turnover slows and the itchy, scaly rash improves. Apply a thin layer of Clobevate to the affected areas twice daily and rub in gently and completely.
