How it works
Covate-Soft Gel is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Ammonium Lactate which treat skin infection. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Ammonium Lactate is a skin protectant which works as a moisturizer and relieves minor skin irritations.
