Used primarily as a topical medication for the treatment of inflammatory and pruritic (itchy) manifestations of various skin conditions. It is effective in managing moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, and other corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. Due to its high potency, it is typically prescribed for short-term use on localized areas of thickened or treatment-resistant skin lesions. Its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties help reduce redness, swelling, and itching. Not intended for large surface area application or prolonged use due to risk of systemic absorption and potential side effects such as skin atrophy, striae, or hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression.
