05How It Works
Bariderm-S Lotion is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Salicylic Acid, which treats eczema and psoriasis. Clobetasol is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. 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 Clobetasol into the skin.

In Treatment of Eczema
Eczema is a skin condition where patches of skin become inflamed, itchy, red, cracked, and rough. Bariderm-S Lotion helps in treating inflammation and itching in eczema. When used correctly it is a safe and effective treatment. Bariderm-S Lotion reduces the redness, rash, pain or itchiness caused by your skin’s reaction to an irritant.

In Treatment of Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a condition where the skin cells in the body grow too quickly and form scales and dry patches. They can grow anywhere, but most appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Bariderm-S Lotion reduces the scaly, itchy patches which may develop on the different parts of the body. Use it exactly as prescribed and for as long as it is prescribed to get the most benefit. It may take several months to become fully effective. You should avoid drinking alcohol while having this treatment and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.show moreshow less
