About Topinate Ointment
Topinate Ointment is used for the treatment of autoimmune skin disorders such as psoriasis (scaly, itchy, and red patches on the skin), lichen planus (purplish, itchy, and flat bumps on the wrists, forearms, or legs), discoid lupus erythematosus (red, coin-shaped scales or crusts on the scalp, cheeks, and ears), and eczema (red and itchy skin).
Topinate Ointment contains Clobetasol, which reduces swelling, redness, and itching by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation.
