Key Benefits

Reatro Ointment 15 gm contains Desoximetasone, a steroid used to treat swelling, itching, and redness caused due to certain skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches), dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin), and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). Reatro Ointment 15 gm acts inside the skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling.
