Betasalic Ointment 20gm

Betasalic Ointment is employed in the management of various health conditions, including:

• Lessening symptoms associated with eczema, a chronic skin condition that causes inflammation and itching.

• Managing psoriasis, a skin disorder that leads to patches of red, scaly skin.

• Reducing discomfort from dermatitis, another type of skin inflammation.

• Alleviating lichen planus, a skin disease causing purple bumps.

• Guarding against pityriasis rubra pilaris, a rare skin disorder causing constant redness and scaling.

• Addressing other severe inflammatory skin disorders when milder medications have not worked effectively.

Here's how you should apply Betasalic Ointment:

• Make sure the affected area of your skin is clean and dry before you begin.

• Apply a thin layer of the ointment over the affected area using your fingertip or a clean cotton swab.

• Rub it in gently until it is fully absorbed into the skin.

• Avoid getting it into your eyes or mouth. If this happens, rinse with plenty of water immediately.

• Always wash your hands thoroughly after applying this ointment to avoid spreading it to other areas.

• For specific advice on how frequently and for how long to use this product, consult your doctor.

Betasalic Ointment is applied topically.

Betasalic Ointment contains two active ingredients:

• Betamethasone (0.1%): This corticosteroid works by suppressing the body's immune response, which reduces swelling, redness, and itching on the skin.

• Salicylic Acid (3%): As a keratolytic agent, salicylic acid helps in shedding of the outer layer of skin. This action aids in softening and removing scales and crusts that form due to various skin conditions.

Both these components work together to effectively manage various skin conditions effectively by reducing inflammation and promoting healing.

• Store Betasalic Ointment in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

• Keep the temperature below 25°C.

• Don't leave the ointment in your car or any place where it might get warm.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach and sight of children.

• Make sure you apply the ointment before its expiry date.

• If you have psoriasis, which Betasalic Ointment helps manage, try to include omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. Foods like fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds are rich in omega-3s and may help reduce inflammation.

• Regular exercise can also help manage psoriasis symptoms. Make sure to shower after exercising to prevent sweat from irritating your skin.
