Work

This medicament acts by the induction of lipocortins which are phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins. Inhibition of these proteins inhibits the release of arachidonic acid, which is a common precursor of inflammation mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic medicine which breaks down keratin clumps, removes dead skin cells and softens the skin. It also enhances the absorption of Halobetasol into the skin.
