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.
