Inflammation and Symptom Relief

Medications used to reduce inflammation, manage oral symptoms, or promote healing.

Clobetasol Propionate

Clobetasol propionate is a cream-based corticosteroid medication used to treat various skin disorders, including:

  • Eczema and psoriasis

  • Contact with poison oak and poison ivy

  • Oral conditions like lichen planus

  • Alopecia areata and vitiligo

As one of the most potent corticosteroids, clobetasol propionate is highly effective while maintaining a relatively low risk of severe side effects. Some users may experience mild reactions such as burning, stinging, itching, dryness, or redness during initial applications, but these typically subside as the body adjusts.

Precautions

  • Pregnant and breastfeeding women are encouraged to seek alternative treatments and consult a licensed health professional to evaluate potential risks.

Dexamethasone Elixir

Dexamethasone Elixir is prescribed for conditions that involve decreased adrenal gland function or severe inflammation, including:

  • Asthma and severe allergies

  • Rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis

  • Lupus, multiple sclerosis, and certain eye and skin conditions

  • Cancer treatment: Helps balance the side effects of chemotherapy.

This medication works by reducing tissue susceptibility to inflammation and modifying the body’s immune response to specific stimuli, providing relief for a wide range of conditions.

Lysine

Lysine is an essential amino acid critical for overall health, as it:

  • Aids in proper growth and calcium absorption

  • Plays a role in collagen formation for healthy skin and connective tissues

  • May help prevent outbreaks of cold sores and genital herpes with regular supplementation

Lysine occurs naturally in foods such as:

  • Meat, cheeses, eggs, fish, and nuts

  • Soybeans, legumes, dairy, and beans

For added convenience, lysine is available in supplement form as tablets, creams, capsules, or liquids, and can be purchased at most pharmacies and health food stores.
