About Helact 0.05% Cream 30 gm

Helact 0.05% Cream 30 gm belongs to a class of drugs called 'corticosteroids' primarily used to treat skin conditions like itching, redness, irritation and inflammation caused due to plaque psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches), dermatitis, eczema, or any other inflammatory skin conditions. The skin's swelling occurs when an allergic reaction or skin irritation releases several substances in the skin that widens blood vessels and cause itching, redness, pain, and swelling in the irritated area.

Helact 0.05% Cream 30 gm contains Halobetasol propionate that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. By blocking the release of these chemical messengers, Helact 0.05% Cream 30 gm provides relief from itching, redness, and swelling.

Helact 0.05% Cream 30 gm is for external use only. Some people may experience dryness of skin, itching, pain, stretch marks, headache, burning, or stinging sensation at the application site.
