Halox Lotion belongs to a class of drugs called 'corticosteroids' primarily used to treat skin condition like itching redness, irritation and inflammation caused due to plaque psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches) or any other inflammatory skin conditions. The skin's swelling occurs when an allergic reaction or skin irritation releases several substances in the skin that widens blood vessels and cause itching, redness, pain, and swelling in the irritated area.

Halox Lotion contains Halobetasol that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally.
