Key Active Ingredients and How They Work
The active ingredient in this medication is Betamethasone Dipropionate, a potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, swelling, and redness. It works by suppressing the immune system’s inflammatory response, which is often the cause of flare-ups in conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
How does Betamethasone Dipropionate work?
This ingredient works by blocking the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. By controlling these inflammatory reactions, Betamethasone Dipropionate reduces itching, redness, and swelling, giving your skin the chance to heal.
Why is it augmented?
The term augmented refers to the fact that this version of the ointment is formulated to enhance the absorption of the medication into the skin. This makes it more effective compared to non-augmented versions, meaning it can deliver faster results, especially on thick or scaly skin patches.
