Eumovate Cream 15g

Eumovate Cream is a topical corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions, including eczema. It contains the active ingredient clobetasone butyrate, which helps to reduce inflammation, itching, and redness associated with eczema.

How does Eumovate Cream work?

Eumovate Cream contains clobetasone butyrate. When applied to the skin, it works inside the skin cells to decrease the release of certain chemicals in the immune system. This reduces the swelling, redness, and itching associated with eczema and dermatitis.
