COVATE-S is a medicated lotion composed of Clobetasol Propionate 0.05% & Salicylic Acid 6%. This medication is used to treat a variety of skin conditions (e.g., eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, allergies, rash).
Clobetasol is use in adults to treat moderate to severe scalp psoriasis. Clobetasol reduces the swelling, itching, and redness that can occur with this condition. This medication is very strong (super-high-potency) corticosteroid.
Salicylic acid is used on the skin to treat psoriasis and other dry, scaly skin conditions. This medication is also used to help remove dead skin from warts, the palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet. It belongs to the same class of drugs as aspirin (salicylates).
