About Clobetasol propionateTopical adenocorticoid, Anti inflammatory.Mechanism of Action of Clobetasol propionateClobetasol is a topical corticosteroid. It induces peptide Lipocortins which inhibit the enzyme Phospholipase A2. Phospholipase A2 is essential for the conversion of membrane phospholipids to Arachidonic acid. From this Arachidonic acid inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins, kinins, histamine, liposomal enzymes and the complement system are produced. By inhibiting Phospholipase A2 inflammatory mediators are not released. It also inhibits the migration of macrophages and leukocytes to the inflamed area by its vasoconstrictive properties. Corticosteroids also inhibit capillary production, collagen deposition and keloid (scar) formation. Thus inhibiting inflammatory mediators and other actions Clobetasol are used for anti-inflammatory conditions.Pharmacokinets of Clobetasol propionateAbsorption: Clobetasol is absorbed through intact skin after topical administration and the amount absorbed is depending on the type of inflammation, vehicle used, amount of drug applied and the epidermal barrier (nature of skin)Onset of Action for Clobetasol propionateN/ADuration of Action for Clobetasol propionateN/AHalf Life of Clobetasol propionateN/ASide Effects of Clobetasol propionate1.Thinning of epidermis
